It may well have been 'taps aff' weather over the last few days but forecasters are now predicting snow and sleet across parts of Lanarkshire this week.
Just as we brought the summer clothes back out of hiding it looks like we can't quite yet pack away the winter woolies!
For a flurry of wintry weather will move in across parts of Scotland over the coming days with the temperature set to drop to -7C in parts of the country and the weather turning colder from tonight.
Some areas will struggle to hit 8C, with Wednesday seeing the most extreme of the wintry weather with the forecasters predicting Glasgow and the West will be hit with 6cm of snow, while the east coast may also see a smattering of the white stuff.
Other areas will be even colder on Thursday and Friday, with temperatures plunging to below freezing.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Following a mild spell of mid-March weather, it will be turning colder this week, with showers for many and some sleet and snow, particularly on the high ground in the north.
"Temperatures have already started to drop for most, but that trend will continue on Tuesday, with a cloudy day for most and a band of rain gradually moving southwards from the north of Scotland heralding a change to the colder conditions.
"The band of rain will continue to sink south on Wednesday, with a change to colder conditions sweeping across much of the UK. For those in the north of the UK, especially on the higher ground, this could fall as a wintry mix of sleet and snow.
"Maximum temperatures are likely to drop to single figures in many places, with some freezing temperatures overnight.
"That unsettled theme will continue through to the weekend, with some further rain for some areas on Thursday, before showers on Friday ahead of a continued unsettled weekend. Temperatures are likely to gradually recover to near-average over the weekend and into next week."
