Weather presenter Christy McCabe, editor of Met Matters at the Royal Meteorological Society, said up to 20cm of snow could fall in places.

he told BBC radio Good morning Scotland Program: “There’s likely to be a lot of snow, but there’s always the risk of freezing rain along with the snow.

“You can get black ice, really dangerous conditions on the roads.

“It’s not particularly unusual, it’s not record-breaking cold, but it’s not great as Monday is going to be the first day back to school or work for many people.

“It will be a legacy of cold weather and dirty conditions.”

A yellow weather warning for snow is in effect from early Sunday through Monday afternoon.

The Met Office said the biggest risk was in southern and eastern Scotland, where up to 5cm could accumulate, with 10 to 20cm on higher ground.

There is a high chance of rain or sleet near some northern and eastern coasts.
