A blast of wintry conditions is expected for the UK this week – with the Met Office issuing severe weather warnings for snow and ice in large swathes of the country.
Drivers are being urged to take extra care during Monday morning's rush hour, with snowy showers expected at 200m above sea level in some areas.
A mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow is expected on lower ground.
The Met Office said: "Accumulating snow may lead to travel disruption on routes over high ground, whilst icy stretches are also likely to form more generally on untreated surfaces.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel during Sunday night and Monday morning."
Rebecca Yussuf, weather producer for Sky News, said: "Most places will see a scattering of showers both Sunday night and Monday.
"About 2cm to 5cm of snow is likely to accumulate above 200m in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, but there could be as much as 10cm above 400m in the Scottish mountains.
"Sunday will be a cold night, with a fairly widespread frost and icy stretches on the roads. Difficult driving conditions and disruption to transport is possible on Monday morning."
According to the Met Office, "a bit of sleet" could even travel as far south as the Midlands in the coming days.
Its forecasters warn that conditions could be "pretty horrendous" in the Scottish mountains.
The Met Office's yellow warning for snow and ice remains in place until noon on Monday.
It is the lowest level of the warnings, meaning people are urged to be aware of the potentially serious conditions.
There is a separate yellow warning for Wednesday, when severe gales of between 60mph and 80mph are expected to hit much of north Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
Further disruption to travel and power supplies is possible.
Unfortunately, it's too early to accurately predict whether Britain will experience a White Christmas – even though the unsettled weather is set to continue for a while.
