It seems that winter is well and truly here as the country saw temperatures plummet to the coldest they have been this season last night.
People of Glasgow awoke this morning to a heavy frost as it was reported that temperatures in some northern areas plunged as low as -10.7C during the night.
Meteorologist Alex Burkill said: "Winter's here now properly. It feels like winter and the weather's resembling it."

While the city may have dodged the yellow weather warning for snow and ice that has seen southern Scotland, England and the north Midlands preparing for disruption, it seems the possibility of snow for Glasgow is not yet out of sight.
Good morning! A sharp frost, with icy patches in eastern England, will be followed by a cold and bright day in the north & east. Cloud, rain and hill snow will spread from the west. Snow may briefly fall at low levels. Stay up-to-date here: https://t.co/lvmvtqQWBN ^Kayleigh pic.twitter.com/ChfBMSsRbQ
