Met Office issues yellow weather warning for ice in West Dunbartonshire
07.01.2022 - 18:41 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A yellow weather warning is in place for ice in West Dunbartonshire from this afternoon.
The Met Office has issued the alert across parts of the west of Scotland, including Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute.
The warning is in place from from 3.30pm today until midnight.
It reads: "Icy surfaces are possible for a time on Friday evening and overnight, leading to potentially tricky conditions."
It continues: "Early wintry showers in the north, and rain, sleet and hill snow further south will leave surfaces cold and wet by early evening.
"Clear spells for a time will allow ice to form in places, particularly for evening commuters, before temperatures trend up after midnight. The warning area highlights areas considered most likely to see ice."
It comes as residents across the area woke up to the first snow of the year today.
West Dunbartonshire Council said its gritting team have been out since 12pm today treating roads and footpaths.
They say they will be out throughout the day and night but warned freezing rain can make grit become ineffective, stating: "Freezing rain washes away grit which has been previously spread and then freezes over before new grit can be distributed.
"Residents are reminded that footpaths and roads may still be icy and therefore take additional care when walking."
