Forecasters have again issued a weather warning which will affect most of Scotland today.
Police Scotland has cautioned motorists to drive with caution as a yellow rain and snow warning begins.
Rain and snow is expected to affect much of southern, western and central Scotland, including the M74, with gales also forecast.
The yellow weather warning is for between 3am and 3pm on Tuesday and could impact drivers' morning commute.
Temperatures overnight are likely to fall below freezing and gales are expected on the western coast.
Restrictions are also likely on bridges and disruptions to ferry routes are also likely.
Between 5cm and 15cm of snow is expected to fall on higher ground over 300 metres.
Police say some sections of the M74 and higher routes heading north out of the Central Belt are at risk of snow accumulations.
Temperatures are forecast to fall again during Tuesday night, bringing a risk of ice on untreated surfaces.
Chief Superintendent Stewart Carle of Police Scotland said: "Drivers should take extra care while travelling on Tuesday.
"Conditions on the roads are likely to be hazardous in some areas, with snow on higher grounds and heavy rain causing surface water and spray elsewhere."
