As a yellow warning covers Edinburgh and the Lothians through the weekend, many will be wondering when the ice will finally melt.
Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland has been in the grips of a cold snap over the last two weeks as a cold blast from the Arctic hits. A yellow warning has been issued for snow and ice for West Lothian on Saturday morning and then another warning that covers the majority of Scotland, 3am to 9pm on Sunday.
However, the Met Office says this should be followed by a band of rain and milder air that will finally bring to an end the cold snap.
