Glasgow's weather woes are set to continue after the chaos of Storm Ciara - with three days of snow set to hit the city. 

The Met Office originally put a 48-hour yellow weather warning for snow and strong winds for much of the country between today and Tuesday.

But this has since been extended for another 12 hours on Wednesday - with alerts also being raised over the dangers of ice conditions. 

Forecasters are predicting up to 20cm of snow in some parts of the country over the first two days of the warning.

A Met Office forecast for Glasgow is predicting "bitterly cold" conditions with strong winds and snow falling to lower levels in "heavier showers". 

They are warning of further travel delays with the possibility of some drivers being stranded on roads.

Injury from slips and falls are also being predicted - especially on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths. 

The Scottish Government has since issued a warning ahead of the treacherous conditions. 

Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said: “The Met Office is telling us that we are facing a prolonged period of adverse weather, with Storm Ciara bringing strong winds and rain to most of Scotland this weekend.

“We’re also being told to expect snow and high winds throughout Monday and on Tuesday morning, so there is the potential for significant disruption on the trunk road network, as well as other modes of transport.

“It’s important that people check the latest information before they set off, drive to the conditions and follow Police Scotland travel advice.”

It comes after high winds and heavy rain have caused flooding, travel disruption and damaged buildings as Storm Ciara battered the country over the weekend.

Warnings were in place for "significant disruption" with gusts of up to 80mph possible in some areas.

The Erskine Bridge was closed to high-sided vehicles. 

A number of homes in the West End and South Side also experienced power cuts. 

Glasgow's Humane Society (GHS) issued a warning to pedestrians in the city to avoid heading near the Clyde after shocking pictures emerged of the flooded river walkway.

The high tide could be seen rising under the King Georve V Bridge and the Caledonian Railway Bridge with the GHS warning: "Please don’t attempt to walk through this as there may be debris under the water & the current is exceptionally strong".

Elsewhere, ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne suspended or cancelled many of its services on Sunday, as the west of the country bore the brunt of the bad weather.

Train operator ScotRail said it had suspended services between Kilwinning and Largs and Ardrossan “due to the severe weather conditions”.

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) issued 15 flood alerts and 62 flood warnings.

Inspector Davy Hynd of Police Scotland’s Road Policing Unit said: “There is a high risk of disruption in the affected area and, if you do travel, you are likely to experience significant delays.

“If you must travel please plan your route, as well as alternative routes, in advance.”
