A Met Office yellow weather warning for ice has been issued for the north and west of Scotland as temperatures drop across the country. A yellow warning for snow also covers much of the north. The warnings are in place from Thursday afternoon until Friday morning.

A snow and ice warning is also in place across northern Scotland until 10am, as travel disruption and difficult driving conditions could come from rain turning into snow, the Met Office said. The alert comes after a major incident was declared in Greater Manchester on Wednesday when flooding from heavy rain led homes to be evacuated and train lines to be closed.
