As turbulent weather continues in Scotland, conditions are to worsen in areas set to be hit with snow, ice and gale force winds.
An amber weather alert for snow has been issued on Tuesday with the "danger to life" warning beginning this afternoon, according to the Met Office. The alert, which lasts until midnight, warns of black ice and heavy snowfall up to 15cm. Power cuts are likely, meaning services like mobile phone coverage may be affected.
Isolated thunderstorms combined with the white stuff means parts of the country could experience thundersnow - a phenomenon describing heavy flurries. Snow within the storms dampen the sound of the thunder and, when it occurs at night, the lightning appears brighter as the light reflects off snowflakes.
