THERE is a weather warning for Fife with snow and ice "likely to bring some disruption, particularly to travel".
Although there has been a dusting of snow in Dunfermline today, the Met Office's yellow alert is for the whole of Tuesday from midnight to 11.59pm.
It said: "An area of snow is likely to move east across central and northern Scotland during Tuesday, 2-5 cm of additional snow could accumulate quite widely, though 10-15 cm may build up on ground above 200 metres, particularly in the west and north of the warning area, with a few places possibly seeing around 20 cm fall.
"Freezing levels may temporarily lift for a time, allowing snow to turn to sleet or rain at lower elevations, before lowering again by the evening, with further snow showers likely returning to northern Scotland by the evening.
"Precipitation is likely to fall on to frozen surfaces, particularly during Tuesday morning, bringing the potential for widespread icy conditions to develop."
The Met Office said there will be a "small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel".
Buses could also be affected and it added that there could be power cuts and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.
There is also a chance of slips and falls on icy surfaces, untreated pavements and cycle paths may become impassable.
The yellow warning covers much of Scotland, including Fife, Clackmannanshire, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Stirling, Dundee, Aberdeen, Moray and Argyll and Bute.
