The north of Scotland is set for more travel chaos as wintry conditions continue across the country.
A Met Office yellow warning for ice will come into place from 10pm tonight in parts of the Highlands, Western Isles and Grampian.
Wintry showers are expected overnight and low temperatures could see untreated roads covered in icy patches.
It comes after a series of overnight warnings and heavy snowfall in the Highlands.
The A9 was blocked on Thursday morning after a lorry jackknifed on the motorway.
Traffic Scotland confirmed that the A939 was also forced to close between Cock Bridge and Tomintoul for most of the morning.
Further travel disruption is expected until 9am on Friday, with a statement from forecasters adding: "Frequent, often heavy showers of rain and sleet will give a risk of icy stretches overnight and into Friday morning away from northern coast roads.
"Showers will turn to snow inland above 150 m, with accumulations of one to two centrimetres."
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
