The north and north-east will be hit by a blast of snow tomorrow, according to forecasters.
The Met Office has placed a yellow warning of snow across the Grampian region, which will be in effect from 4am until 10am tomorrow.
A warning is also out for the Highlands, Northern and Western Isles.
A band of rain will pass across Scotland, falling as snow on higher ground overnight tonight.
Snow is expected to fall in regions above 984ft, however this will turn to sleet at lower levels.
Icy patches are also expected to develop tomorrow and the forecaster has warned of “difficult driving conditions”.
The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “A cold front will push southwards across northern Scotland overnight introducing colder air and more wintry conditions, chiefly above 300 metres where 1-4 cm accumulations are expected. Across Shetland the snow levels are likely to be lower with 1-2 cm possible to low levels briefly.
