FRESH warnings of ice have been issued as Scotland's cold snap was expected to continue this morning.
The Met Office's yellow "be aware" warning was in place for much of Scotland on Saturday afternoon, and was expected to last until at least 10.30am today.
It comes after a slew of accidents were reported in parts of Scotland, with many drivers advised to "stay at home".
Police and health officials warned that the recent freeze had led to a number of road crashes and a spike in the number of injuries caused by people slipping and falling.
Police in Dumfries and Galloway tweeted a picture of a gritter that had come off the road north of Sanquhar.
According to The Met Office's chief forecaster warned last night: "Outbreaks of rain will spread eastwards later in the night and during Sunday morning, with some of this rain possibly falling on to surfaces that will still be below freezing, thus increasing the risk of ice for a few hours."
