Parts of the UK are experiencing snow and icy conditions as commuters are warned to expect travel disruption today.
The Met Office issued an amber "be prepared" warning across central and southern Scotland, with Wales, Northern Ireland and much of England also on alert.
Network Rail suspended four train routes in advance of snow, while the AA warned drivers to be aware of "treacherous conditions".
In Wales a rare phenomenon called 'thundersnow' reportedly caused problems overnight, with warnings of more bad weather on the way.
Thundersnow occurs when thunder and lighting combine with a snowstorm and usually appears in late winter.
Sky News weather forecaster Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "The next 48 hours could see treacherous driving conditions for most of the UK and Ireland with the risk of ice and snow and then severe gales.
"Heavy snow will fall through the Central Belt, Fife and Perth and Kinross, with 10cm (4ins) or more over the highest ground.
"Elsewhere, a covering of snow is possible, even over the higher ground in southern England, whilst 2-5cm (2ins) is likely above 100m (330ft)."
The warnings follow fierce storms last week which left 120,000 homes without power in Scotland.
