The whole of Britain looks set to be covered in snow as the Met Office issues a new yellow warning.

New maps from the Met Office show almost the whole of the UK has been issued with a yellow weather warning for snow and snow and ice.

A yellow alert starts at midnight on Sunday and lasts until 12pm on Monday.

It has been issued for nearly all of Scotland, including the borders, Inverness, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Aberdeen looks to be partly included, with Westhill and Dyce in the warning zone and the coast not being included.

The zone goes into the north of the country, but doesn’t quite reach Neither Ullapool nor Dornoch.

Places in the west, such as Fort William, Tobermory and Portree are also not included.

The Met Office has warned the public that there is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

In addition, there is a slight chance that some rural communities could become “cut off”, and there could be travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
