SNOW and ice are expected to continue to cause disruption across Scotland for the remainder of the week.
Commuters and schoolchildren in northern Scotland in particular are facing major disruption as the region was hit by a blanket of snow.
The National put out a call for some of YOUR pictures and we’ve picked some of the best.
A series of yellow “be aware” warnings have been issued until 6pm this Friday with a warning coming into place for much of central Scotland later this week.
The Met Office has said many locations across Scotland could see between 5-10cm of snow.
A number of schools have been forced to close in the Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council and Highland Council areas.
The heaviest snowfall is expected to arrive on Friday.
Tuesday could be the coldest night of the year so far with the mercury plunging to minus 15C in some isolated glens.
The small hamlet of Altnaharra in the Highlands was covered in 12cm of snow - more than anywhere else in the UK.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
