Holidaygoers and those looking to travel by plane have also been left disappointed as Glasgow Airport will remain shut until 3pm.
A spokesman said: "Following heavy snow showers overnight and with a red alert still in place we will be extending the closure of the airport until 3pm on Thursday.
"Further snow is forecast during the day which will make travel conditions to and from the airport extremely challenging.
"This decision has been taken with the safety of passengers and staff in mind.
"We would advise passengers not to travel to the airport and anyone with travel plans should contact their airline directly for specific flight information."
