A number of schools in the north and north-east will remain closed or partially closed on Friday following the disruption caused last weekend.
It has almost been a week since Storm Arwen battered the north-east, and some areas are still recovering from the chaos.
Residents are going into their eighth day without power, meanwhile, some are still struggling without water supplies.
And some schools in the region have not opened this week due to damages to roofs and power cables among the reasons stated on Aberdeenshire Council’s website.
Snow and icy road conditions led to further closures on Thursday, while unforeseen circumstances are affecting a number of schools in the Highlands.
Here is a full list of Aberdeenshire schools that will be closed or partially closed on Friday, December 3:
Alford Academy
The school is open but the Premier Coaches Midmar bus will not be running, while the Muir of Fowlis/Cushine bus will be running its winter route.
Craigievar School
The school opening is delayed until 10am due to icy road conditions.
