The Met Office has warned Scots will face four days of snow in the wake of Storm Caroline.

Severe weather warnings of snow and ice for Central, Tayside and Fife, Grampian, the Highlands, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, the Borders, Strathclyde, south-west Scotland and Lothian have been extended.

About 1.5in of the white stuff could fall in the highest areas of these regions on Thursday evening as the storm continues to batter the country.

“Heavy” rain showers are expected on Thursday afternoon, turning to sleet and snow as temperatures begin to fall. There is also a risk of “slips and falls” on icy surfaces.

Further snow and ice warnings are in place from midnight until 6pm on both Friday and Saturday in these areas, with “increasingly frequent” and widespread wintry showers predicted across Scotland.

Up to 8in could fall on high ground, with 2in expected at lower levels from Friday into Saturday.

Tayside could be hit by the wintry weather from this evening until Saturday, however Fife is expected to be “sheltered” from the worst of the weather.

A further yellow warning is in place on Sunday, however it does not cover Tayside.

Storm Caroline has caused trains through Courier Country to be cancelled, with winds of as much as 80mph expected.

The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “During winter weather which brings snow showers, it is not uncommon for snow amounts to vary considerably across short distances.

“On Friday and Saturday, the snow showers could lead to snow accumulations which vary markedly across the warning area. Strong northwest winds may cause drifting of the snow in places with blizzard conditions possible across northern Scotland.”
