The Met Office has extended a yellow weather warning for ice to cover the whole of Scotland. The warning begins at 4pm on New Year’s Day and ends at 10am on Thursday, and covers the west coast and south of Scotland,

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.
