Speaking of the snow and ice forecasted this week, the Met Office stated on its website: "Icy patches and snow are possible, and may lead to hazardous conditions Tuesday evening and overnight into Wednesday morning."
A number of risks have been anticipated including the likelihood of "injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces".
Much of this threat is from " icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths".
There are also likely to be impacts on roads and railways with longer car, bus and train journey times expected.
Forecasts from trusted weather resource WXCharts originally forecasted snow for Scotland on Thursday and Friday in places like Ayrshire and the Cairngorms in the north of the country.
What is a Met Office yellow weather warning?
These warnings are issued for a range of weather situations that are likely to cause some low-level impact (such as travel disruption) to a limited area.
Such weather warnings mean most people can continue with their day as normal.
Other yellow warnings are issued when extreme weather is capable of causing an impact on most but where the certainty of this is much lower.
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!
