The north-east has woken up to a blanket of snow covering the region this morning (January 6), as severe weather continues to batter Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
A Met Office weather warning for snow and ice remains in place for most areas until 12pm today, with significant traffic and travel disruption expected.
Residents in affected areas have been warned that ‘showers, falling as snow away from windward coasts, could bring a few cm of snow to lower elevations in parts of Aberdeenshire, Moray, north Angus, north Perthshire and Strathspey and Badenoch and perhaps more than 10 cm of above 200 metres in these areas.’
Dozens of schools have made the decision to close their doors in the wake of the heavy snowfall, including the majority of schools in Aberdeenshire. Meanwhile, in the city, a handful of schools have delayed opening.
Read below on all the schools that have closed, delayed their opening or changed their transport plans in the wake of the snowfall.
