Snow chaos is set to continue across much of the UK as the Met Office issued further warnings hours after Storm Bella ravaged the country with high winds and heavy rain.
Parts of the UK were already blanketed on Sunday after Bella battered regions overnight on Boxing Day as post-Christmas temperatures are expected to plunge to -6C in parts of Scotland on Monday morning.
The Met Office has now issued yellow weather warnings for ice and snow across Scotland, northern England, Northern Ireland and parts of north Wales.
The warnings came into effect at 3pm on Sunday and are due to remain in place until 6pm on Monday, with a band of rain, sleet and up to two inches of snow set to fall.
Snow and sleet is a possibility in Scotland from Sunday morning, and will move south throughout the day, bringing the risk of ice and bad driving conditions.
