Further snow showers are likely to lead to some travel delays and slippery surfaces in Caithness

The Met Office warns of further snow showers and icy conditions for today and tomorrow in Caithness that are likely to affect road and rail services.

A bulletin issued this morning states: "Snow showers will continue to affect the Northern Isles and the north of mainland Scotland through today, giving a few cms of lying snow in places.

"A more organised band of snow showers is expected to move south across northern Scotland this afternoon and evening, with showers becoming confined to northern and some western coastal areas overnight. "Accumulations will be variable depending on where showers fall, but some places may see 2 to 5 cm of snow. With a partial thaw of lying snow by day, there is an additional ice risk where this then freezes again overnight."

The Met Office warns that:

• Some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
• Some injuries are possible from slips and falls on icy surfaces
