Edinburgh weather: Yellow weather warning in place for ice as morning temperatures plummet

Warning in place for ice and snow, with the Capital seeing temperatures around freezing.

The weather warning is in place across Scotland

A yellow weather warning is in place for the majority of the UK for snow and ice after temperatures plummeted to around freezing.

The Met Office warned of a risk of icy patches on roads, pavements and cycle paths, potentially leading to injuries from slips and falls.

The weather warning, for ice and snow, is in place until approximately 10am.

Further south, the snow has hit hard. This was the scene in Lamancha, in the Borders.

Snow which was forecast to hit overnight has not affected the city as feared.

However, parts of the Borders and more rural areas were hit by heavy snow overnight.

Thursday will start cold and bright, becoming changeable with showers into the evening.

Temperatures will hover in the single digits but winds of around 20mph will make it feel colder.
