The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Central Scotland - including Stirling and Perth and Kinross - from 6pm tonight (Thursday) until 10am tomorrow.
A Met Office forecaster said: "Icy stretches are expected on untreated surfaces this evening and overnight as wintry showers continue. Above 250 metres showers will generally fall as snow and accumulations of 2 to 5cm are possible in some areas, mainly above 300 to 400 metres."
Residents can expect some roads and railways to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services, some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, and some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
