Scots have been told to prepare for snow later this week after the Met Office issued a severe weather warning.
Storm Doris is expected to cause high winds and snow across the country.
A yellow 'be aware' warning has been issued for Strathclyde, Highlands & the Western Isles, Grampian, Central, Tayside & Fife, and Dumfries, Galloway, Lothian & Borders.
The warning will be in place between 2am and 6pm on Thursday.
Up to 10cm of snow are expected in some parts of the country, with strong winds of up to 60mph also predicted.
Drivers have been warned to expect travel disruptions.
Traffic Scotland's Stein Connelly said: "With the unsettled conditions expected over the next few days, we are advising road users to check all of the available information on the Traffic Scotland web site before they set off on their journey.
"Any disruption tomorrow is likely to be caused by the high winds in the north of Scotland and temporary restrictions may be required on road bridges, especially for high sides vehicles.
"On Thursday the worst of any snow will be on the higher routes, especially in the central and south of Scotland, and we would ask road users to keep this mind when they are planning their journeys and that they drive according to the conditions.
"We have more gritters than ever before to spread salt as conditions dictate and salt stocks remain healthy.
"The Traffic Scotland twitter feed and website has the reliable traffic and travel information that drivers need to make informed decisions."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
