Although many of us don't like the cold weather, it always gives talented photographers the perfect opportunity to capture some stunning pics.
We asked our readers to send in their best snaps featuring the cold and ice, and it's fair to say you didn't disappoint.
Entries came in all forms, including local lochs, woodlands and even some furry pets featuring.
We've selected some of our favourites, and we're sure you'll love them as well.
