Storm Eowyn is already causing major disruption across Tayside, Fife and Stirling.
Several weather warnings are in place for Friday and Saturday for winds of more than 80mph and snow – including a rare red warning.
The Met Office is warning of potential danger to life from large waves and flying debris, along with impacts on roads and public transport.
And SSEN has said the storm could be the “worst we’ve seen in a long time” as it prepares for the potential impact on power supplies.
Police Scotland has also warned people not to travel.
A loud 10-second siren-like alert sounded on mobile phones in Fife and Stirling at 6pm on Thursday.
Some users outside these areas also received the alert, which warned against travel in red weather warning areas.
