The north and north-east have now been hit with a new yellow weather warning – but this time it is for ice.
Just as residents began to feel a sense of relief when red and amber weather warnings for rain and wind caused by Storm Babet were lifted, it seems a cold spell is now on its way.
The Met Office has issued a brand new yellow warning for ice across most of Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City.
Other affected areas include Inverness, Aviemore, Elgin, Banff, Stonehaven, Montrose and Aviemore.
Ice warning in place from 9pm tonight
There is a chill in the air for many of us this morning thanks to the clearing skies overnight

The warning is set to come into force from 9pm tonight and is expected to last until 9am tomorrow morning.
Icy patches may cause some disruption to travel on Monday morning as there are likely to be icy conditions on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
Ice warning comes one day after Storm Babet causes chaos across the region
The new warning comes less than a day after Storm Babet battered the north and north-east, leaving nothing but destruction in its path.
Storm Babet caused many parts of the country to flood, as towns including Inverurie, Kintore and Brechin were all severely impacted.
Although the storm may have passed, residents will now have to fear the impacts still to come.

Temperatures are expected to fall below freezing tonight, causing many areas to ice over.
The Met Office is also warning residents of the icy conditions as some injuries caused by slips and falls on icy surfaces can be expected.
