The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow as Britain braced for more winter weather into the weekend.
The warning covered areas of Scotland, and the Met Office warned of wintery conditions.
The forecaster said: ” A period of snow is expected to affect higher ground of Scotland during Friday evening and overnight into Saturday morning. About 2 to 5cm of snow is expected to fall above 200 or 300m, with 10 to 20cm above 400m, which will bring difficult travelling conditions and some disruption to higher routes.
“Drifting of lying snow across the very highest routes above 400m may add to the impacts. Temporary snow accumulations may also affect lower levels for a time on Friday evening. The snow will become more showery and turn to rain or sleet through Saturday morning.”
