Storm Bert has transformed central and southern Scotland, under a blanket of snow. With some travel disruption, some children and dogs have been enjoying the cold weather.

Heavy snow and rain has led to travel disruption across parts of Yorkshire and warnings of potential flooding as Storm Bert sweeps across the region. Four flood alerts are in place in West Yorkshire along sections of the River Aire and River Calder, with a further alert in place for the North Sea coast at Bridlington in East Yorkshire.

Storm Bert is primed to hit the UK this weekend, bringing with it snow, wind and heavy rain. Several weather warnings are in place, including two rare amber alerts, as the Met Office has issued concerns about travel disruption, power cuts and hazards presented by icy surfaces, especially in rural areas.
