A yellow ice warning has been issued for the north and north-east of Scotland.
The warning says ice is expected to form overnight into Tuesday morning.
“There is a chance of difficult driving conditions on untreated roads and slippery conditions on pavements and cycle paths are possible,” it goes on to say.
The alert issued by the Met Office continues: “In addition ahead of this some snow is likely to fall Monday evening on high level routes above around 900ft – primarily the southern and eastern Highlands that may prove an additional hazard, disrupting transport routes.”
The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “A band of rain, with some snow on high ground, will clear eastwards on Monday night. Once this clears as ground temperatures fall under clearing skies, icy stretches will form quite readily. 2-5cm of snow is also possible on some high level routes above 300m, mainly across the southern and eastern Highlands. 10 cm of snow is possible over the very highest routes here where some drifting is also possible with strong winds.”
