Glasgow and its surrounding areas have been told to brace for more travel chaos as the Met Office issues a yellow weather warning for snow and ice.

With temperatures set to plummet again late on Tuesday night, the Met Office’s weather warning has been put into place from 3am on Wednesday until 6pm.

The weather service said: “Following a spell of rain, temperatures will fall quickly allowing ice to form on untreated surfaces. Frequent blustery showers of rain, sleet, snow and hail will then also develop.

“Some roads and railways are likely to be affected by snow with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.

“Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces are also possible.”

The warning comes just two weeks after most of Scotland was hit with an Arctic ice blast which saw mountain rescue teams rush to help 200 stranded motorists on a stretch of the M74 after heavy snowfall.

In an unprecedented move, police issued a strong warning on January 19 to employers to let their workers go home early as the city was battered by the freezing weather bomb.

Forecasters said there was a chance of power cuts, while some rural communities prepared to be cut off entirely.

Dozens of schools around the country were closed while some were forced to shut early.
