It continues: “This will allow ice to readily form on untreated surfaces, particularly where roads and pavements remain wet from wintry showers.
“Scattered showers will fall as a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. Most areas are unlikely to see any fresh accumulations of snow though a slight covering is possible in places, especially over parts of northern Scotland.”
Highland Council’s road report for Caithness issued at 8.07am today states that there is a “dusting of snow all over” and “all routes are being treated”.
