A snow warning has been issued for Ayrshire later this week.
The Met Office yellow alert is scheduled for Thursday at 3am and is set to be in place until Friday at 6pm.
The UK is set for a white-out this week and forecasters reckon Scotland is to see the heaviest snow on Friday.
Some locations could even see as much as 20cm of snow forming on the ground.
The warning reads: "Snow could develop quite widely across the warning area on Thursday and Friday as a potentially quite deep area of low pressure moves across the UK.
"Parts of Northern Ireland, north Wales and northern England are currently expected to see the worst of the conditions on Thursday, with parts of Scotland and northern England then seeing the heaviest snow on Friday.
"Event totals could bring 5 to 10 cm of snow to many locations, even at low elevations, with potentially 15 to 20 cm accumulating across the northern portion of the warning area.
"Higher elevations of the North Pennines, Southern Uplands, higher parts of the Central Belt and the southern Highlands may see as much as 30 to 40 cm of snow in places. In addition, there is potential for strong winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow."
