Yellow weather warnings issued across Scotland for snow, wind and ice amid 'freezing' temperatures
Yellow weather warnings have been issued across many parts of Scotland for snow, ice, and more winds, just hours after the country was battered by hurricane force gusts from Storm Éowyn.
Many houses were left without power and property damages, as the height of the storm unleashed ferocious winds reaching speeds of up to 100mph.
The alert from the Met Office for snow, ice and "below freezing" temperatures has been put in place across the weekend, as well as another wind warning for Sunday, adding to further disruption.

Glasgow, Inverclyde, Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Dumfries and Galloway are among those hit by the latest weather warning. The Highlands and Aberdeen, Dundee, Falkirk, Fife and Perth are also affected.
People are being urged to stay off the roads, but those who hit the road should stay cautious. The latest warning highlights the risk of icy patches on untreated roads, as well as affected journey times, including railway, bus and train surfaces.

However the worst of the weather is far from over, with the edge of the country hit by a further yellow weather warning for wind on Sunday, January 26. This will affect Dumfries and Galloway, Argyll and Bute and south Ayrshire.
Sunday's yellow wind warning is set to be in place across some parts of Scotland from 8am on Sunday morning, until 3pm in the afternoon. Temperatures are set to fall drastically from Saturday night into Sunday morning, with places hitting minus.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "We will see temperatures dropping below freezing as the weather sweeps into Scotland from Northern Ireland. This could lead to some frost and icy stretches towards Sunday.
"It will be a chilly start to the day for many of us. Into the evening again we will see some sleet and snow over higher grounds, with some blustery showers across the south west of the country too. This could all cause some disruption as we head into the new week."
