It comes as Storm Eunice has wreaked chaos around the UK, with England recording 122mph winds amid a rare red weather warning.
Hair-raising footage has also shown the treacherous conditions some drivers are facing on Scotland's travel network.
Conor Small captured the blizzard conditions in the Scottish Highlands on the A82 in Glencoe on his dashcam.
The footage shows whiteout conditions in the area where a yellow weather warning for ice is in place from 6pm Friday until 9am on Saturday.
