VIDEO: Schools closed and roads affected as heavy snow hits Courier Country

Heavy snowfall closed schools and caused a string of incidents on local roads after moving into Tayside and Fife on Friday morning.

Roads including the M90 between Perth and Edinburgh were badly affected, with a bus becoming stuck in a rural Fife village and more than 20 schools and primaries closed to pupils due to whiteout conditions.

The Met Office has a yellow warning of snow and ice in place across Tayside and Fife until midnight, and has warned of further travel disruption.

The forecaster told locals to be careful on the roads, adding that “delays” are likely.

Buses across Tayside and Fife have been disrupted by Friday’s weather with one coach said to be “stuck” in the village of Saline due to the conditions.

Stagecoach East Scotland said: “Service six currently stuck in Saline due to weather conditions. Will update further when its moving again.”

The firm later updated: “Service 6 and 28 will be unable to serve Saline until further notice due to weather conditions. Apologies.”

Stagecoach also warned “heaving snow” was affected journeys in Glenrothes and Perth. Heavy showers are also affecting services in Perthshire, with Kinross said to be particularly bad.

The A926 is closed between Alyth and Blairgowrie due to a serious accident while the M90 is restricted northbound due to a broken down vehicle between Kinross and Gairney Bridge.

Dundee was not predicted to be hit by the snow showers, however the white stuff landed across the city in the morning.

A Met Office statement said: “Snow showers will affect the northwest of the UK during Thursday and Friday, although often falling as sleet and hail near windward coasts. Ice will also form in some areas overnight.

“Travel delays on roads are likely, as are public transport cancellations. In a few places, mainly upland areas, vehicles may become stranded.

“There is a chance of power cuts, while services such as mobile phone coverage may be affected. A few rural communities may become cut off. In addition some roads and pavements will turn icy, increasing the chances of accidents or injuries.”

Superintendent Louise Blakelock, of Police Scotland’s road policing unit said: “Due to the upgraded warning from the Met Office it has been necessary to update our travel advice.

“We’ve been working closely with our colleagues at Transport Scotland, the Met Office and local councils to assess the conditions.

“Therfore for the duration of this updated warning, there is a high risk of disruption for road journeys and there is a high likelihood of the conditions for travel being very poor.

‘Those heading out on the roads should be aware of these risks – ensure you have a fully charged phone, warm clothing, and leave extra time for your journey.

“Drive to the road conditions and make sure you check the most up to date information from Traffic Scotland and the Met Office before heading out. Our priority is to ensure the public are safe.”
