Meteoradar’s map shows a system off the north coast of Scotland, which started developing from rain at 7.20am.

The radar shows snowfall around the civil parish town of Durness and further down south to Lairg.

Another smaller system has developed further south of the country to the west of Glasgow.

There, snow has started to fall around Greenock and Dumbarton.

Live maps show fresh snowfall stops there, but some parts of the country have a leftover layer from yesterday.

Charts from weather forecasters with WXCharts show a deep covering remains over much of Scotland, where totals over the highlands max out at almost one foot of snow.

Further down around Edinburgh and Northern England, people have seen up to six inches of snow over the last day, and the Met Office has extended warnings over the area.

The agency currently has two yellow weather warnings in place for the UK for ice, in place until 10am this morning.
