The north-east is bracing for another blast of snow.
The Met Office has issued a yellow “severe” weather warning for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray.
The alert will be in place from 6pm until tomorrow morning at 11am, with snow and ice to grip the region once again.
It comes following Wednesday’s unexpected blizzard – which blanketed roads and forced north-east pupils home from school.
About 4in of snow will fall in the highest regions of Aberdeenshire and Moray, with about 1in coming to lower levels overnight.
The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “Snow showers will affect some higher routes during Friday evening, overnight and into Saturday morning.
“Initially only the very highest routes will be affected, but the snow level will lower during the night. Ice will also readily form on untreated surfaces.
“Please be aware of these wintry hazards and the potential for some difficult driving conditions.
“Showers will affect the north and east of the country throughout, these turning increasing wintry.
“The main snow level will be initially around 500 metres (1,640ft), with around 10 cm of snow expected, lowering to around 100 metres (328ft) by Friday morning with locally 1 or 2 cm of snow possible at this height.
“The wintry showers will also see ice readily form on untreated surfaces.”
