A fresh snow warning's been issued for Tayside and Fife
The Met Office has issued a Yellow weather warning for snow for Friday morning.
It follows a similar weather warning for snow and ice, which comes into effect tonight (Wednesday) and runs until midday tomorrow.
Up to 20 centimetres of snow is forecast to fall on higher ground as temperatures plummet.
And the Met Office warns that could lead to travel disruption - "with an increased chance of traffic collisions" - in some areas.
A spokesperson said: "Snow is expected to arrive from the east overnight Thursday into Friday. Early on Friday morning, this may briefly settle across areas as low as 100m above sea level, although through the morning the accumulating snow level is likely to rise to 500m and above as milder air arrives from the east.
"Snow will then turn to persistent and at times heavy rain at lower levels. 2-5 cm of snow is possible above 150 m, with transient sleet/snow at lower elevations.
"Steadily Increasing amounts are likely at higher levels; perhaps as much as 15-20cm above 400m, significantly affecting higher transport routes for a time before it turns to rain."
