With heavy snow falling overnight and temperatures barely scraping -2C today, the city has embraced the weather - despite an amber warning being put in place by the Met Office.

That's set to continue tonight (January 5), with further rain and snow persisting over hills. Winds will remain strong, as temperatures hover around -1C, keeping conditions icy.

And the disruption could carry on into tomorrow, with more snow expected over hills before clearing eastward by evening.
