Severe winter weather is set to cause further disruption across the country with schools closed and problems on the roads.
Hundreds of schools have already confirmed they will not be opening due to problems created by snow and ice.
Trains are also subject to cancellations or delays and operators have warned passengers to check their websites before travelling.
The Northern Isles, Caithness and the north east will see the heaviest snow.
However, BBC weather forecasters said this would not be as heavy as recent days. Temperatures will be struggling to rise above freezing.
The UK has been experiencing the earliest widespread snowfall since 1993.
Met Office UK severe weather warnings for icy roads were in place for the Grampian, Strathclyde, Central, Tayside and Fife, south-west Scotland and Lothian and Borders areas.
Edinburgh Airport closed for the second time in 24 hours on Monday night and engineers were working to restore power to 450 homes in the Tayside and central area.
Parts of the M8 were reduced to one lane by the weather on Monday night and the A9 was once again closed between Perth and Dunblane.
Lothian and Borders Police and Grampian Police urged drivers to take care on the roads after low temperatures overnight.
Edinburgh City Council, Perth and Kinross Council, West Lothian, Moray Council, Dundee City Council and Midlothian Council, said schools would remain closed on Tuesday.
Scottish Borders Council also said all schools would remain closed.
Temperatures reached a low of -13C in Inverness early on Tuesday, with forecasters predicting that daytime temperatures would struggle to get past zero due to the bitter wind chill.
