Windy and cold with most mountain terrain frozen. Snow will accumulate slowly over many eastern mountains although rain lower slopes Scottish Borders southwards. A few flurries will reach western mountains, where in places cloud will break to give a little sunshine.
Snow on and off, mainly Borders. Higher terrain frozen.
Easterly; 30 to 35mph. Expect sudden gusts, in places reaching lower slopes.
Considerable wind chill and sometimes sudden buffeting in gusts on both higher and some lower slopes.
Snow flurries mainly east of M74
West of M74: Extensively dry although a few snow flurries (light rain valleys). East of M74: snow flurries throughout the day, sometimes the snow almost constant particularly Cheviot Hills.

Remaining cold with nearly all mountain terrain frozen for the next week or perhaps longer.
