THE Met Office has shared a list of six areas in Scotland affected by an amber warning.
The weather alert will be active between 7am-5pm tomorrow as snow and ice hits the country.
In preparation, the forecasting body has issued advice including to carefully planning travel arrangements.
The Met Office has warned that the severe weather could cause power cuts and issues with mobile phone coverage.
And there is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.
Half a dozen areas will be affected including Angus, Perth and Kinross, Stirling, Aberdeenshire, Highlands and Argyll and Bute.
It comes as Scots brace themselves for Storm Bert following days of chaotic weather.
The Met Office has warned that severe snow, ice and wind is just hours away.
A week-long deep freeze as temperatures plummeted overnight ahead of a frosty and icy morning.
The storm is set to reach the UK on Saturday, and the Met Office expects it to bring “heavy rain, strong winds and disruptive snow to parts of the UK through the weekend.”
These conditions could cause travel disruption and flooding.
Overnight on Thursday, the Met Office said much of the UK experienced temperatures near freezing, with the mercury falling as low as minus 6C at Tulloch Bridge in Scotland.
The forecasting body said many will wake up to a frost with icy surfaces in places with several yellow warnings for snow and ice in place across the UK until 10am on Friday.
One covering parts of Scotland is in effect until midday before a slew of further yellow alerts for wind, rain and snow go live on Saturday.
An amber alert for heavy snow and ice will be in force between 7am and 5pm on Saturday in an area north of Scotland’s central belt.
Around 10-20cm is likely on ground above 200 metres and potentially as much as 20-40cm on hills above 400 metres.
The warning covers parts of Angus, Perth and Kinross, Stirlingshire, Aberdeenshire and some of the Highlands and Argyll and Bute.
Met Office meteorologist Honor Criswick said: “Through into Friday… snow showers are set to continue mainly around coastal areas, though once again, a few are feeding inland at times.
“There will also still be plenty of autumnal sunshine.
“Still feeling cold though, particularly in those brisk winds – once again we’re only looking at highs of around 5C, slightly higher in the southwest around 7C.
“Across the north, those temperatures are struggling to move past 2-3C.
“As we head into Friday evening, a change is coming as we introduce Storm Bert moving its way in from the Atlantic.
“So we’ll see clouds spilling in from the southwest with outbreaks of rain – heavy at times by the time we reach Saturday morning.”
Ms Criswick said there are likely to be “heavy” outbreaks of rain throughout Saturday, “falling as snow” at times across northern parts of England and parts of Scotland.
The wintry weather affected education, with more than 114 schools shut in the Highland Council area on Thursday because of snow, including Inverness Royal Academy where pupils were told their prelim exams planned for the day will be rescheduled.

A COSY pub has been crowned Scotland’s best at the annual ‘tourism Oscars’ for the second year running.

This award is the pub’s second consecutive national win in the Best Bar or Pub category, having been previous winners last year.
Giving their verdict, the Thistle Awards judges said: “The Inn has shown real commitment to developing the business with new ventures including the addition of a new beer garden and outdoor pizza oven facility which has more than doubled the capacity for dining in the peak summer months with the aim of attracting a different market of visitors that are staying in the area.
“The collaboration with local cycle guides to develop various cycle routes starting and finishing from Ettrickbridge with the intention of promoting the area as a destination are commendable.

CAOIMHIN KELLEHER is in line to start for Liverpool in their Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
The Republic of Ireland international has held down the fort in the absence of regular No1 Alisson.
The Brazilian has been out of action with a hamstring injury since October, with Kelleher filling in commendably since.
Alisson is nearing a return to the fold, but in an update, Liverpool manager Arne Slot revealed that he is still a little ways away from full fitness.
He said: “We are careful with everyone, especially when it comes to muscle injuries.
“He is back training with his goalie coach, not yet with the team, but expected to return soon.”
As a result, Kelleher is all-but certain to retain the jersey for the Premier League meeting with Southampton this weekend.
And a more intriguing possibility is the Corkman retaining his place for the visit of Real Madrid to Anfield in the Champions League.
The Merseyside club host Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and co when Los Blancos make the trip next Wednesday.
Testing his wits against some of the best of the world would prevent Kelleher with the chance to further bolster his reputation.
The 25-year-old did just that during the most recent international break.
He earned plaudits for his performance in Ireland’s 1-0 win over Finland, with his second-half penalty save preserving the three points.
His showings for club and country lend further credence to the view of John Aldridge, who argued that Kelleher should keep his place even when Alisson is back.
He told SunSport via Netbet Online Casino: “It’s not the first time.
“People tend to forget he has done this time and time again over the last few years and he has never let the side down.
“He has been absolutely quality. I can’t speak highly enough of him.
“He has been impeccable. He should have been in the Irish team a long time ago.
“When he was young in gaelic football or whatever, you can see he is good on the ball and that is what you have got to be in present day football goalkeeping.
“He is cool, calm, and collected, a bit like James Bond, to be fair, when he is on the ball.
“I just think at this present moment in time what he has done, it is hard but he has got to keep his place ahead of Alisson for me.
“Alisson is right up there with the best goalkeepers in the world and in some quarters the best goalkeeper in the world but I think this is a time when the manager has got to be honest and say, ‘look, I can’t fault you.’ “
SIR ALEX FERGUSON says Ryan Giggs was his first big win over Manchester City.
Fergie’s dismissive taunt about the “noisy neighbours” after the Abu Dhabi takeover has gone down in football history.
But the former United boss told Tony Pulis in Sky’s “Chasing the Dream” documentary that prising Welsh wizard Giggs out of City’s clutches was a key moment in his Old Trafford success story.
Ferguson recalled: “At United, our first-team squad there were quite a few over 30.
“City were getting all the best young players at the time, absolutely. They would win the Youth Cup.
“We had to put a stop to that, so we increased the scouting and worked really hard at that, particularly in Manchester.
“We got the Phil and Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt. David Beckham was the only one from down south.
“With Ryan Giggs, we had a steward at the club who came to me and said ‘there’s a young boy training at City, but he’s a United fan. You need to get hold of him.’
“We got him down the training ground right away, they played a practice match against Viv Anderson, and Viv was screaming: ‘Can I kick him? Can I tackle him?’
And I said: ‘Don’t you dare touch him! He’s only 14.’”

Giggs and Co were part of the group known as “Fergie’s Fledglings” when they broke into the first team squad.
The Scot added: “When you get a gem like Giggs or Scholes, it’s staring you in the face.
“Scholes was an incredibly young player. You get diamonds like that, whereas Beckham was a late developer..
“The Nevilles – always hard working, always making great sacrifices to be footballers.
“Nicky Butt – determined young lad, always going to make it.
“You have a responsibility too, to give them the right guidance, to be strong in terms of the path you’re taking them through.
“Playing for Manchester United, playing in front of 75,000, playing in cup finals, playing for your country – these are all the stepping stones that you’re guiding them for.”
David Moyes
“All the skills needed to build on United’s phenomenal legacy.”
Louis van Gaal
“One of the outstanding managers in the game today.”
Jose Mourinho
“Quite simply the best manager in the game today.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
“A wealth of experience, with a desire to give young players their chance and a deep understanding of the culture of the club.”
Erik ten Hag
“One of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe.”
Ruben Amorim
“One of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football.”
