Scots have been told to prepare for snow and ice this weekend.
A yellow warning for wintry weather has been issued for parts of Glasgow, Ayrshire and the Highlands, which forecasters say will lead to travel disruption.
Affected areas could see icy patches and scattered snow showers from now until 11am on Sunday, when the frosty forecast is set to lessen up slightly.
Forecasters at the Met Office predict around 2-4cm of snow could accumulate at low levels, with up to 10cm in higher areas.
A spokesman said: "Scattered sleet and snow showers will continue throughout the day and overnight into Sunday.
"This will lead to possible lying snow accumulations of 2-4cm at low levels and 5-10cm in higher spots.
"Icy patches are also likely to form overnight."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
