Much of the country has been battered with severe winter weather this year, with a number of winter warnings as well as frequent storms battering much of the country.
In February a number of transport links were brought to a halt with severe flooding and gale-force winds.
While snow is expected, heavy rain and showers are forecast from Edinburgh and Glasgow during much of the weather warnings.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
