A YELLOW weather warning for snow is in place in Tweeddale until 8pm this evening.
And Borderers are being warned to expect icy conditions throughout tonight and tomorrow morning.
In the early hours of tomorrow morning, the south eastern Scottish Borders will likely see some snow, but temperatures will then drop right across the region, with widespread ice forecast.
And as a result, the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice, valid from midnight to 12noon on Friday.
Jim Fraser, Scottish Borders Council’s Emergency Planning Officer, said: "Due to the combination of low temperatures and melting snow we anticipate that travel conditions on Friday morning will be very difficult, especially on untreated surfaces.
"Our staff will be out from 3.30pm today, with additional resources on throughout the night, to grit routes, and staff will also be deployed from 6am to treat the priority footpath network in addition to roads.
"However, as the road surface temperatures are expected to drop as far as minus five in some places there will be a high risk of ice and I would encourage anyone travelling tomorrow morning to take extra care."
