The Met Office said that “heavy and persistent snowfall” could lead to further disruption on Sunday, with a “good chance that some rural communities could become cut off.”
A spokesperson added: “Ice will be a more widespread hazard, especially overnight as temperatures fall widely below freezing.”
Justice Secretary Angela Constance, who chaired the Scottish government’s resilience meeting, said the country was “facing a complicated multi-hazard event”.
She said: “Partners remain stood up and are working tirelessly across the weekend to continue supporting communities and to respond as the conditions.
“The sustained nature of this weather event, and the different elements of it, are clearly very challenging for communities and responders alike, given the difficulties already caused by the weather.”
