PHONE-IN
Scotland is on course for its coldest December in over a decade after the UK's lowest maximum temperature for 12 years was recorded in Aberdeenshire.
The Met Office confirmed the highest temperature recorded in Braemar was -9.3C after overnight temperatures plummeted to -15.7C.

Some homes in Shetland could be without power until the end of the week as engineers face "extremely challenging conditions", an energy firm has warned. About 3,800 households are without power after snow and ice caused "extensive damage" to overhead cables. SSEN Distribution said local teams described conditions as the worst they had seen in 20 years. They hope to restore energy on Yell and Unst on Tuesday but customers in outlying islands face a longer wait.
