Safety advice for Fifers amid snow and ice warning

The Kingdom is under a yellow warning for snow and ice until the end of the day.

People are being warned of difficult conditions if needing to go out and about.

We're also being told to leave in advance and plan journeys if needing to head off as there could be delays and disruption.

The Met Office is forecasting as much as 20cm of snow in some parts. 

The forecaster is telling us to be prepared and says: "Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous.

"If driving, leave more time to prepare and check your car before setting off; make sure you have essentials packed in your car in the event of any delays (warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de-icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger).

"If making a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated."
