East Renfrewshire is to brace itself for a brutal spell of snow and ice over the coming days as temperatures plummet across Scotland.
A yellow weather warning has been issued by the Met Office for snow and ice this weekend with blizzards and freezing rain expected throughout the country.
The warning will be in place between 12pm on Saturday and 10am on Sunday.
Residents should expect possible travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers and possible delays or cancellations to rail and air travel.
The Met Office said: "There is a risk of snow developing with strong southeasterly winds affecting northern UK on Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning.
"The snow could be heavy at times, especially over hills where blizzards may develop, and is likely to drift in strong winds.
"Across northern England and southern Scotland, snow may turn to freezing rain above 200-300 metres leading to widespread ice developing on Saturday night. 2-5 cm of snow is likely at lower levels, whilst higher ground could see 10-20 cm."
