Scotland back on Amber alert for snow.
The Met office have upgraded the weather warning from yellow to Amber in large parts of Scotland, and we're being urged not to travel unless we have to:
Superintendent Louise Blakelock, of Police Scotland's Road Policing said: "Due to the upgraded warning from the Met Office it has been necessary to update our travel advice.
"We've been working closely with our colleagues at Transport Scotland, the Met Office and local councils to assess the conditions. Therfore for the duration of this updated warning, there is a high risk of disruption for road journeys and there is a high likelihood of the conditions for travel being very poor.
Police said many people had followed warnings not to travel overnight on Wednesday into Thursday in areas covered by the amber warning.

Forecasters have a yellow warning for ice in force on Saturday for northern and western parts of the country until 10am.
