Scotland braced for snow flurries and severe gales

WINTER will return with a vengeance today as a fierce storm blows in from the Atlantic bringing gale force winds and icy conditions to much of the country.

A severe weather warning has been issued, with winds of up to 70mph due to strike many areas along with snow, hail and plunging temperatures.

The winter storm comes after several days of mild weather, and marks a return to conditions which saw much of Scotland blanketed with snow.
