BBC Scotland Weather
Cold westerly winds continue to strengthen, bringing further wintry showers this evening, particularly across western Scotland, where they will merge to give some longer spells of sleet and snow.
The showers will be wintry to all levels, but accumulations should be mainly confined to higher ground, above about 200m.
This will lead to difficult conditions on higher-level roads, particularly over the northwest Highlands.
Eastern Scotland will see fewer showers, though some heavy ones will reach the Lothians and Fife, funnelling through the central belt on those westerly winds.
Overnight the winds will be strong along the west coast and gusting to gale force over the Hebrides in the heavier showers.
Temperatures fall away allowing snow to settle even at low levels, especially over the northwest Highlands and Argyll, but through the M8 corridor too, so there is the potential for disruption if you are travelling this evening or early tomorrow.
There will be a widespread frost, despite the breeze, with temperatures dipping to freezing in the towns and cities; a couple of degrees below out in the countryside, and a widespread risk of ice on untreated surfaces.
A met office yellow 'be aware' warning for snow and ice is in force for most of the country overnight as a result.

Labour baulked at this. Harold Wilson overruled the proposals, leading to mismanagement on a colossal scale by successive UK governments.

John, Elgin: Stephen Baker, if that were true, if Scotland's oil was indeed in Scotland's hands and not Westminster's, then we could indeed put our own money into the industry. As it is however, the UK government fought tooth and nail to keep it - so time to stop such arrogance, the UK government wanted it so they need to deal with it. As for fracking, there are plenty of other options before allowing your silly presumption that it's the cure to this problem.
A Green MSP has raised concerns about the capacity for bicycles on the trainswhich will run on the new Edinburgh to Borders railway.
Alison Johnstone brought up the issue after being approached by local businesses.

Transport Minister Derek Mackay said plans had not been finalised but space allocation was always a challenge.
Stephen Baker: If anything, UK investment in the North Sea should be scaled back instead of pumping money down uneconomic wells. Investment should be made in land-based production, which is cheaper to extract. That may not suit the Scottish agenda but tough, that's life. If the Scottish government want to divert their own funds from other things they're responsible for, let them do that… after all, it is 'Scottish Oil.'
