Ten lorries were stranded on a motorway after snow storms swept across Scotland today.
Temperatures plunged below freezing as sleet, rain and snow hit all parts of the country.
Forecasters predicted the cold snap would last for another two days.
The north of Scotland was worst affected, with temperatures dropping to minus 5C in Cairnwell, near Braemar.
The lorries were stuck for several hours on the M90 as temperatures plummeted overnight across the country.
Around three inches on snow settled on the road overnight, close to Bridge of Earn, making driving conditions difficult.
Snow ploughs and gritters cleared the road overnight, and police said traffic was now flowing as normal in the area.

Steve Ellison, of Meteogroup, the weather forecasting arm of the Press Association, said the cold snap was set to continue for the next two days.
Rain, sleet and snow are set to continue in the Highlands and Cairngorms, with the cold front expected to creep further south until Wednesday.
By Thursday, temperatures are predicted to rise slightly, causing the snow to retreat to the higher ground.Snowfall to comeMr Ellison said, “Temperatures are not that low for this time of the year at the moment. It is not that far below freezing, but snow is starting on the higher ground.
“The most significant thing is the snowfall to come. Rain, sleet and snow are to continue throughout the day.
“The Highlands, Cairngorms and areas north of the central belt are most affected at the moment, but there will also be snow over the southern uplands.
“It is fairly persistent and during the night, the snow level will start to come further down and it could be quite heavy.
“During Wednesday, it will start to turn to rain and move north.”How is the weather in your part of the country? Email us your news and pictures or phone us on 01382 575290.
