Edinburgh has been slapped with another yellow weather warning for snow, from Wednesday midday until Thursday afternoon.
The city has narrowly missed a current yellow weather warning issued across much of central Scotland - including West and Midlothian- for severe rainfall.
The Met Office warned that this persistent rainfall could turn to heavy snow from Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday - warning that we could see around 20-30 cm of the white stuff.
The Met Office explained: "Persistent rain over southern Scotland and the far north of England will increasingly fall as snow above around 100 m during Wednesday afternoon and overnight into Thursday.
"A few cm of wet snow may accumulate down to around 100 m but above 200 m 10-15 cm may settle with perhaps 20-30 cm above 400 m. Rain is more likely on lowest ground near the east coast and may bring some localised surface water flooding."
