Video shows first snowfall of the decade settling on Edinburgh street

A video tweeted this morning by Labour Councillor Scott Arthur shows the first snow of the decade hitting Edinburgh.

The clip, filmed in Buckstone, shows snow lashing down as it settles on the street while a pedestrian runs for cover.

The Met Office has issued a three day Yellow weather warning for wind and snow on Monday and Tuesday and then snow and ice on Wednesday.

It comes after Storm Ciarahit the region over the weekend, forcing the partial closure of Edinburgh Waverley and disrupting the tram network.

Snow and sleet is set to gain intensity over the course of the day.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Frequent and heavy snow showers will affect the region throughout Monday and Tuesday.

"Snow showers will occur especially over high ground, giving slight accumulations of 1 to 3 cm above 150 metres and 5-10 cm above 300 metres.

"Snow will gradually build up and in a few locations, accumulations of over 20 cm are possible by Tuesday evening over the highest routes in Scotland.

"The height of the snow level will vary throughout the period, but it is likely that any snow accumulations at low levels will only be temporary.

"Strong winds, gusting 50-60 mph, will lead to blizzard conditions at times and considerable drifting of lying snow over high ground. Icy surfaces are likely to occur, more especially on Monday night into Tuesday morning.
