Some of the earliest snow of the season will be falling over Scotland over the coming days, the Met Office is predicting. Scots saw an abrupt end to summer last week amid the first flurries and frosts this autumn.
The forecaster has warned snowfall over the hills of northern Scotland is possible from Monday. The cold spell follows the chilly air and longer nights that have emerged over the last week.
A warning about below average temperatures for the season comes from the Met Office's latest 10-day forecast. It'll be cold enough for a touch of frost and some snow showers when temperatures will drop to low single figures and below zero for some overnight.
