Disruptive snow and plunging temperatures could be set to hit Glasgow next week.
The current cold spell which has seen us all out scraping our cars first thing is set to continue over the weekend, according to the Met Office.
Although today will see temperatures reaching maximums of 6C, tonight clear spells combined with light winds will bring more frost for many areas.
Temperatures sunk as low as -9C (16F) in parts of northern Scotland as the weekend began, while in the South conditions hovered a few degrees above freezing.
Do you have plans this afternoon? It is rather cloudy with patchy #rain for many and a little sleet or hill #snow possible in the east. Some heavy showers in the southwest with the best of the #sunshine across Scotland. pic.twitter.com/ap2opYfND5

Conditions look set to turn colder next week with the possibility of heavy rain, sleet and snow across the country.
Mr McGivern said: "The cold weather is here to stay for now, and there could be more significant cold and disruptive snow at times through next week.
"Still a lot of uncertainty, so we're keeping a keen eye on that here at the Met Office."
