Scotland was last night hit by the worst November snow in 17 years.

One of the coldest areas in Scotland was Dalwhinnie in the Scottish Highlands, at minus 8 degrees.

And temperatures in Glasgow - which was hit by heavy snow showers and gales around midnight last night - saw temperatures fall to minus 3 degrees.

STV weatherman Sean Batty warned that the weather on Saturday evening is likely to turn nasty again for many eastern and some central areas.

He said: "Winds will be picking up - especially through the Central Belt - and this is going to lead to blizzards and drifting of lying snow.

"The heaviest snowfalls on Sunday morning will be in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Borders and Fife.

"This will lead to dreadful travelling conditions and you should only venture out if absolutely necessary."

Weather experts said the snowfall was the worst the UK had seen in November since 1993.

The wintry spell could last up to a fortnight as biting winds move in from the North Sea.

Bookies William Hill slashed the price of this winter being the coldest on record from 16/1 to 10/1.
