The Met Office recorded wind gusts of 83mph at Inverbervie in Scotland's north east, while winds elsewhere reached up to 75mph
Yellow weather warnings for wind are in place covering parts of north and north-east England and southern Scotland until 2pm, while a warning for snow and ice in parts of Scotland starts late tonight and lasts until 9am tomorrow.
"After a relatively dry day with good sunny spells in places, cloud will build from the west this evening before rain and snow move across most parts overnight."Forecasters said snow is likely to fall in locations over 300 metres, with 2-5cm possible across the warning area, and 5-10cm over the highest locations.
"Rain and hill snow will ease in the early morning of Saturday, with some brightness, though rain will return later from the west. There will be some drizzly rain further south, but it will be mild with a few brighter spells by afternoon. "Wet and windy conditions will return for the north of Scotland on Sunday as an area of low pressure skirts to the north of the UK."
