STV weatherman Sean Batty previously warned of early December snow and urged Scots to look out for "vulnerable" people. With energy bills at record highs many people across the country will try to keep warm without turning up the thermostat too much.
Here are just some of the free things that you can do to keep yourself warm amid the upcoming cold snap.
An extra jumper, a pair of thick socks or a base layer can go a long way during colder spells. The British Heart Foundation recommends sticking to wool, cotton or fleece fabrics.
They also suggest wearing multiple layers rather than putting on a single thick item. Although, if you are very cold a hat and scarf can also help.
Plugging up any gaps in your windows or doors can help keep heat in your home. Drawing your curtains will also help keep it warmer, although you should keep them open if the sun is shining in.
According to the Energy Saving Trust you can hire a professional to draught proof your windows, doors, cracks in your floors and skirting boards for £225, which will save you around £125 a year in bills.
By keeping active you can burn more energy in your body, which creates heat and helps to keep you warm. If it's possible, a short jog around the block will heat you up
