Scotland and the rest of the UK are set to face freezing temperatures this week as flurries of snow and ice have been forecast.
Temperatures could hit as low as -15C, the Met Office has said, with areas in northern Scotland such as the Highlands already seeing some snowfall over the past few days.
During this bone-chilling weather, it's likely you'll be keen to stay home and warm as much as possible. But the cold can wreak havoc on your boiler, as one heating engineer has issued a stark warning about the dangers of plummeting temperatures.
