Snow is set to bring disruption to most of Scotland and parts of northern England, the Met Office has warned.
It has issued an amber warning for snow for much of Scotland overnight into Thursday.
The snow will turn to rain late in the morning but will fall on frozen surfaces, forecasters said.
Traffic Scotland has warned of a high risk of disruption for most road journeys on Thursday.
Police are advising that travel conditions in parts of Scotland will be "extremely poor".
This latest bout of cold weather comes after snow fell in north-eastern Scotland and parts of southern England on Wednesday, causing accidents and delays and forcing schools to close in Aberdeenshire, Hertfordshire and Essex. There was also disruption at Luton, Aberdeen and Stansted airports.
The series of amber alerts - covering the the period between 03:00 GMT and 11:00 GMT on Thursday - warn people to be prepared for potentially treacherous conditions in Strathclyde, Grampian, the Highlands, the Western Isles, Tayside and Fife and Central.

Met Office yellow warnings - advising drivers to "be aware" of the danger of ice - are in place in parts of north-east England, Yorkshire and Humber, East Midlands, the east of England, and London and south-east England.
A Highways Agency spokesman urged drivers to check local weather and travel advice before setting off, to heed warnings on electronic message signs and to drive "in an appropriate way for the conditions, leaving extra time for journeys and extra room for braking".
Meanwhile, British Gas says it expects to receive almost 250,000 calls for help from customers this week - nearly 70,000 more than in an average week.
