DRIVERS have been warned to expect rush-hour chaos tomorrow morning as Glasgow is battered by heavy snow and hail.
The west and north of Scotland are at greatest risk, with the prospect of some motorists becoming stranded in the wintry conditions
Journey times by both road and rail are expected to increase and power cuts are predicted.
Rachael Adshead of the Met Office said:”Tomorrow morning is going to be particularly cold, with overnight snow showers continuing into the Monday morning rush hour.
“Scotland is on the end of a Canadian airstream, which picks up moisture as it crosses the mild sea.
“That’s why some of the heaviest snow on Monday will be in Western Scotland and Northern Ireland, which will be the first areas to be affected.
“As a result, Glasgow could see some very heavy snow showers in the morning.”
Around two inches of snow (5cm) is expected quite, with double that predicted on ground above 500 feet.
