A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Snow and Ice will affect the Monday morning commute across parts of Scotland.

"There could be some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

"And there will probably be some ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths."

Road chaos and cancellations to flights look set to continue in parts of the UK as the cold dip continues.

Here, blizzards are set to cause a nightmare for commuters with travel delays "likely" due to another 2in of snow being dumped on existing coverage, the Met Office said.
