"Outbreaks of rain will turn to snow across North Highland during the morning, then parts of Strathspey, Moray and western Aberdeenshire in the afternoon," the site warned today.

"This is likely to bring 2-5cm on higher ground above 150m and perhaps up to 10cm on highest roads above 300m, while 1 or 2cm could accumulate at low levels in places.

"Drier, clearer conditions following from the north in the afternoon and evening will then lead to a freeze and some icy stretches."

The A939 Cock Bridge have been closed for three days for safety reasons, having first closed just after 8pm on Thursday, according to Traffic Scotland's incident page.

Today motorists were again advise to expect delays and take alternative routes.

"Expected duration unknown at present."
