Fresh warnings for snow and ice have been issued by the Met Office as Arctic air continues to dominate the weather.
A northerly airflow is continuing to subdue temperatures with sub-zero figures likely
for many over the next few nights and low single figures in the day for many.
Snow and ice is likely to result in difficult travelling conditions this evening and overnight, perhaps leading to some travel disruption
The yellow warning is in force for the Western Isles until noon tomorrow.
Snow showers will affect many northern and western areas of Scotland overnight into Friday.
The Met Office said showers will be frequent at times and may also be accompanied by hail. Snow accumulations are likely to reach 2 to 5 cm fairly widely with up to 10 cm in some areas, especially northern parts of the mainland. Over high ground, above about 300 metres, 15 to 20 cm could accumulate in this time period.
Ice will will be an additional hazard, forming readily on untreated surfaces (particularly after dark), including windward coasts and the Northern Isles where showers will be sleety at times leaving surfaces wet.
