Scottish Water has warned about pipes becoming 'very vulnerable' during the current cold snap which has seen Scotland wake up to snow and subzero temperatures today.
The country could be plunged into blizzard conditions as four days of weather warnings across numerous parts of the country have been issued by the Met Office.
Winter weather could damage property and impact roads, and now Scottish Water has urged people to make sure that their pipes are prepared for the cold spell to avoid bursts and flooding.
