Police are urging residents to only call 999 in an emergency after a spike in calls when Storm Ciara rolled in.
There were yellow weather warnings in place across the weekend and The Met Office have forecast heavy snow over the next couple of days, until Wednesday.
The bad weather brought gale force winds and saw a surge in calls to BT's 999/112 service, prompting police to warn the public to only call in the event of a "genuine emergency".
In a statement on Twitter, Police Scotland said: "MESSAGE FROM BT - 999 CALLS BT’s 999/112 service is currently experiencing a significant and continued increase in calls due to #StormCiara affecting large parts of the UK.
"Please only use 999 in the event of a genuine emergency to allow urgent calls to be promptly handled."
One user wrote on Twitter: "People should be charged for misusing this service."
The storm saw Edinburgh Waverley closed to all non-ScotRail services due to overcrowding and caused flooding in the north east of the city, as well as Edinburgh Airport.
Meanwhile, Monday has brought excitement for some in parts of Edinburgh.
