Fresh weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office for further snow across Scotland on Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n

Weather presenter Kirsty McCabe, editor of MetMatters at the Royal Meteorological Society, said there could be up to 20cm of snowfall in places.<\/p>\n

She told BBC Radio’s Good Morning Scotland<\/a> programme: “There’s potentially a lot of snow to come, but as well as the snow there always the risk of freezing rain.<\/p>\n

“You can get black ice, really hazardous conditions on the roads.<\/p>\n

“It’s not especially unusual, its not record-breakingly cold, but it’s not great as Monday for many is going to be the first day back at school or back at work.<\/p>\n

“There will be this legacy of wintry weather and nasty conditions.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The yellow weather warning for snow is in place from the early hours of Sunday until midday on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Met Office said the greatest risk was in southern and eastern Scotland, where up to 5cm could accumulate, with 10 to 20cm over high ground. <\/p>\n

Rain or sleet is more likely near some northern and eastern coasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
