Weather in Scotland will take a frosty turn this week in an Arctic plunge.
Today Scots are enjoying bright but chilly weather in a welcome dose of sunshine, but sub-zero temperatures and snow up to five centimetres are in store for parts of the country on Thursday.
The Met Office said the frosty weather will turn into a deep-freeze as snow could fall on hills in Scotland today, The Mirror reported.
Temperatures will plunge to -2C in Edinburgh and Glasgow overnight heading into Thursday - low enough for a risk of ice, according to BBC Weather Scotland.
On Thursday, maps from WX Charts show a carpet of snow for parts of eastern England and Scotland where up to five centimetres - or two inches - could fall.
Wednesday is expected to bring brighter skies and some snow as the mercury falls.
Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin said: "Some showers will continue into northern Scotland, snow on the hills, by the end of the day some snow even to low levels across the northern isles.
"But for most parts it is a brightening up kind of day as it starts gloomy but by the end of the day it is largely fine but it will be feeling colder.
"The colder air arriving and when you add that wind on it really will feel pretty bitter across the North East, some very strong winds across that north eastern corner in particular making it feel sub-zero.
"Those strong winds will blow more wintry showers across the North East. Even across the mainland of Scotland some snow is possible and it could turn icy.
"And ice is a potential risk as some showers drift down the eastern side of England into Thursday morning, bit of sleet and snow is possible but mostly rain but it could be icy and for many it will start with a frost on Thursday morning."
