Blustery and wintry weather will sweep across Britain this week bringing fears of disruption and travel chaos.
The Met Office issued warnings for snow, ice and wind, and forecaster Calum MacColl said this week will see the UK suffer the "first notable north-westerly blast of the year".
MacColl warned to expect unsettled weather, saying: "The wind will make it feel pretty raw."
A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice was in place overnight from Sunday to Monday, with wintry showers expected in Scotland in particular.
Snow is expected to fall over hills and to low levels in the north.
The icy weather could mean further disruption to transport after motorists in Scotland were urged on Sunday to avoid part of the main route to the Highlands.
MacColl said people should take "extra precautions with regard to icy patches".
Monday night is expected to be the coldest of the week, especially in central and eastern areas.
It will be a wet and windy start to Tuesday in the north-west of the UK, with many places frosty and a band of rainy and very windy conditions sweeping south-eastwards throughout the day.
There is a further warning in place for wind on Wednesday and overnight into Thursday.
