An amber 'be prepared' weather alert has been issued as heavy snow and blizzard conditions are expected to hit Falkirk overnight and tomorrow.
Residents have been warned to prepare for significant disruption as forecasters predict up to 20cm of the white stuff could fall between 3am and 9pm on Tuesday, February 9.
The warning, which covers much of Central Scotland, states that there could be significant travel disruption and loss of power supplies.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Snow showers are expected to continue during Monday night and Tuesday with some large accumulations building up in parts of central Scotland.
Across the area 5-10 cm of snow is expected to lie fairly widely with areas of 10-20 cm.
Perhaps particularly over higher parts of the Central Belt and the chance of 25 cm of snow in one or two spots."
