There are snow, ice and wind warnings for parts of the UK as wintry weather returns.
The Met Office has issued three separate yellow alerts for severe weather on Tuesday (January 4) - for ice in northern England, for snow and ice in Scotland, and for wind in Scotland.
Other parts of the UK could also see wintry showers as colder weather makes a return after a mild Christmas and New Year.
And there is more snow to come for the rest of January, according to the Met Office's long-range forecast.
The snow and ice warning in Scotland is for frequent snow showers and icy stretches, leading to travel disruption, particularly for higher routes - this could cause difficult driving conditions, the risk of slips and falls on icy surfaces. This runs until 9am on Wednesday (January 5).
The wind warning runs from 10am to 11.59pm today in northern Scotland and could cause some travel disruption.
The ice warning, which stretches from Manchester to Newcastle upon Tyne, runs until 11am today (Wednesday, January 4).
This week, the UK can expect more wintry showers in parts of Wales and northern Scotland and blustery showers of rain, sleet and snow in the west.
Looking further ahead, the UK can expect more unsettled weather before more milder weather returns in the first half of January.
Shorter-lived cold spells could see snow return, mostly likely over hills in the north.
Met Office long-range forecast
Saturday, January 8 to Monday, January 17
Unsettled conditions are expected for the start of this period, with showers, mainly of rain across some eastern areas at first and cloud and rain reaching all areas on Saturday. Winds will be moderate to fresh at first, strengthening later with gales, locally severe around coasts and exposed hills. Feeling mild, however this may be tempered by wind and rain. Through the middle part of this period, more settled conditions may develop for most, driest in the south and southeast, with the wettest conditions and stronger winds confined to the north. A return to a rather changeable regime is then expected towards the end of the period. Overall, temperatures are expected to be near to average, although some temporary colder periods are also likely.
Tuesday, January 18 to Tuesday, February 1
Through the rest of January, a continuation of the rather changeable regime is expected with spells of wet and windy weather interspersed by drier, brighter periods. Temperatures are likely to remain close to or slightly above average due to a mixture of mild spells and shorter-lived colder periods. These shorter-lived colder periods may still allow for some snow, but this will typically fall over hills in the north. Towards the end of this period, there is a tentative sign of more settled spells developing, particularly across the south which would increase the chance of overnight frost and fog here.
