The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings ahead of Christmas as Brits brace to be hit by ice and snow.
Warnings over December 23 and 24 have been issued for areas of Scotland, north of Glasgow who could see more of the white stuff in the run up to Christmas.
The snow and ice warnings say there could be snow from mid-afternoon today through to tomorrow morning.
And that travel could be disrupted, especially for longer journeys, which people could be making ahead of Christmas.
The yellow snow warning does not cover Christmas day itself.
Rain will precede the warning before becoming lighter and patchier and being followed by snow.
Initially snow will be confined to higher areas above 500m but during the evening will start to fall lower down.
The majority of the snow will fall above 300m, up to 5cm deep, with a possible excess of 10cm snow above 500m.
According to the Met Office's warning Matrix, it the warning is approaching very likely, but a low impact.
The areas affected include:
Central, Tayside and Fife
Grampian
Highlands and Eilean Siar
Strathclyde
Alongside that the Met Office have already issued a yellow "risk to life" ice warning for parts of the UK as temperatures are expected to plunge over the festive season.
Similar parts of Scotland have been told to brace themselves for freezing rain.
Met Office forecasters have warned this could bring with it a higher risk of people getting injured, or car accidents.
As people make their last few purchases ready for Christmas Day there is the risk roads and pavements could become "impassable".
Forecasters have predicted snow will land on Wednesday as temperatures plunge to minus 6C in Scotland with millions of Brits hoping for a white Christmas this year.
Forecaster Clare Nasir said of the outlook: "Brighter skies for a time on Wednesday before more cloud and rain arrives from the west.
"Before that though a cold night into Wednesday morning with the risk of frost.
"Lurking towards the far north of the country some colder air ... [and] across the Highlands of Scotland above around 300 - 400 metres expect some snow.
"And even at lower levels for a time on its leading edge we could see some sleet."
There is a chance that some areas of the UK could see a white Christmas, with some parts of northern England and Scotland expected to have snow.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Chris Bulmer, said: “The Christmas period will be a fairly unsettled spell across the UK this year.
"Many will see wet and cloudy conditions as mild air dominates over the south and west of the UK.
"Where this mild air meets colder air trying to sink south there is a chance of some Christmas snow, this looking most likely over the Pennines, however exactly where this boundary will be is still uncertain.
"In the far north cold conditions and clearer skies will bring a more wintry feel. For many areas, a brisk easterly wind will bring a notable wind chill”
