After weeks of bone-chilling temperatures, travel chaos and slippery surfaces, it looks like the cold snap in Scotland could be coming to an end.
December saw record-breaking lows of -15.7 degrees in Braemar, with much of the country being blanketed in snow and ice for days at a time.
But now, due to a jet stream of milder air coming in from North America, it appears as though the extreme cold is over and January's weather will be more typical - very wet and windy, according to the Met Office.
