Already we have a yellow weather warning in place for snow and ice covering parts of the country, but at the moment there is still some uncertainty as to whether we will see snow around populated areas like the central belt.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be similar, cold days for all with brisk winds and frequent snow showers, particularly on higher ground, with some frosty and potentially icy nights to come.
