A blast of wintry conditions is expected for the UK this week – with the Met Office issuing severe weather warnings for snow and ice in large swathes of the country.
A mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow is expected in Scotland, northern England and as far south as the Midlands and into eastern Wales.
The Met Office said: "Accumulating snow may lead to travel disruption on routes over high ground, whilst icy stretches are also likely to form more generally on untreated surfaces.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel during Sunday night and Monday morning."
Its forecasters warn that conditions could be "pretty horrendous" in the Scottish mountains.
The Met Office's yellow warning for snow and ice remains in place until noon on Monday.
It is the lowest level of the warnings, meaning people are urged to be aware of the potentially serious conditions.
There is a separate yellow warning for Wednesday, when severe gales of between 60mph and 80mph are expected to hit much of north Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
Further disruption to travel and power supplies is possible.
