Snow is expected overnight in the north and north-east tonight as the Met Office issued a fresh weather warning.
Forecasters are predicting one to two inches of snow for large parts of the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire from this evening into tomorrow morning.
The yellow be aware warning for snow and ice is in place from 9pm tonight until midday tomorrow.
Temperatures have been falling across the country amid forecasts of what could be the coldest night in almost a decade.
The mercury had plunged to -11.7C at Braemar last night, while most of the UK had dipped below freezing.
Forecasters said there was the potential for a low of -16C to be seen in eastern Scotland overnight following a blast of cold weather than brought severe disruption to large parts of the country.
Icy stretches will continue to be a hazard in parts of southern England and East Anglia into Sunday morning and a yellow warning is in place until 11am.
Meanwhile there is a warning in place for snow and ice for a swathe of western Scotland reaching from Inverness in the north to the outskirts of Glasgow in the south.
“Much of the UK’s dry, but across the north-west and west of Scotland there are some snow showers,” Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said.
“There is a weather warning that will be in place from 7am onward as that band pushes eastwards.
“It will be a cold, frosty start for many and then there is the risk of some more rain, sleet and snow coming into western Scotland by the end of the night into Monday morning.”
