Air passengers are facing disruption in Scotland after Edinburgh Airport was forced to shut due to snowy weather.
Up to 10cm (3.9in) of snow settled in places overnight, with more expected throughout the day.
The airport's operator BAA said it would be closed until midday. It said it would provide passengers with a further update at 1000 GMT.
The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings of heavy snow for several Scottish regions.
They include Grampian, Strathclyde, Central, Tayside and Fife, south-west Scotland and Lothian and Borders.
The Met Office said snow fell overnight across parts of southern and eastern Scotland, with 7cm (2.8in) recorded at Edinburgh and as much as 10cm (3.9in) across other parts of eastern Scotland.
Police have warned drivers to take extra caution on the roads.
Temperatures across much of Scotland are expected to stay below zero on Saturday, and it will be a similar picture on Sunday before warmer weather arrives on Monday.
Edinburgh Airport advised passengers to contact their airline. Glasgow and Aberdeen airports were not reporting any disruption.
On Friday, coastguard teams were called out to help care workers reach elderly people on the Isle of Lewis after four inches of snow fell.
