A YELLOW weather warning forecasting snow and ice across much of East Lothian has been released.

The Met Office is warning that there is “a small chance” of disruption due to snow and ice for 24 hours from 10am on Monday.

The warning covers much of central and southern Scotland, although the majority of East Lothian’s coastline should escape any colder weather.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

“A small chance that untreated pavements and cycle paths become impassable.

“There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.

“There is a slight chance that bus and train services may be delayed or cancelled, with some road closures and longer journey times.

“A small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

“There is a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.”
