A WEATHER warning for snow and ice has been issued for the parts of the Scottish Borders and North Northumberland.

Up to 20cm is forecast to fall between Tuesday and Thursday, December the 13th to 15th.

A number of events have also been cancelled due to the weather and treacherous road conditions.

These include the Christmas market at Abbotsford House and Santa's appearance in Kelso Square.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Wintry showers will affect many areas of northern Scotland and parts of northeast England during this period.

"A few centimetres of snow are likely to accumulate at low levels with the potential for as much as 15-20 cm over higher ground.

"In addition, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces, mainly where some of the showers fall as sleet close to coasts."

A Yellow weather warning for fog and ice has also been issued for some areas of the southern Borders and North Northuberland between 4pm on Sunday and 11am on Monday.
