Homeowners are being urged to protect their property from snow and freezing weather as large areas of Scotland are placed under weather warnings.
An Arctic blast has already left northern parts of the country covered in a thick layer of snow and there is a chance that the blizzard conditions could cause disruption and damage.
On Thursday and Friday there is a "small chance" of power supply interruptions, said the Met Office, and insurance experts have also issued a warning about property damage.
