HIGHLANDERS were waking up this morning to the coldest February temperatures recorded since 1986.
The icy chill of winter 2021 continued overnight, with vast snowfields, crystal clear skies and a deeply cold air mass from the east all combining to send the mercury plunging.
Temperatures had already fallen to almost -19C in some parts of Sutherland by 9pm, and even built up areas like Inverness saw the mercury drop by -11C by 11pm, according to Met Office figures.
