While temperatures have frequently passed below freezing in the last few days, the mercury is set to drop to -6C in the capital later on today.
In fact, the Met Office forecasters are predicting that temperatures aren't set to rise above freezing at all on Friday.
It's an icy start to the morning, with weather warnings in place for ice and snow across much of Scotland, including Edinburgh.

The weather warning is only in place until 12pm on Friday but temperatures are set to get even colder as we head into the afternoon.
According to BBC's weather forecasters, the temperature will rise to around zero degrees from 12-2pm before plunging as the evening rolls in.
