Wide areas across Scotland have been told to prepare for more snow as forecasters track a warm front sweeping across the UK.
The Met Office said the front, which is pushing slowly northwards, will stall over Scotland and meet a colder air front hovering over the region.
As it does so, the associated rain is expected to turn to snow.
Forecasters warned: “Some disruptive snow is likely for a time north of northern parts of the Central Belt.”
The Met Office added: “Note that onshore winds are expected to prevent snow falling in eastern coastal areas.”
Here’s a few pictures from the start of the avalanche of snowy photographs that will blanket social media over the next month or so.
