As of noon around 16,000 people are still off power in the north-east.
Main sites are in areas around Banchory, Fyvie, Midmar, Inverurie, Aboyne, Marnoch, Insch, Kintore but there will be other pockets of homes without power.
Aberdeenshire Council are putting in place catering thanks to school catering teams for anyone needing a hot meal.
You can get a hot meal from Banchory, Aboyne, Inverurie, Turriff, and Alford academy canteens where we will be serving hot food from 1pm – 5pm.
SSEN have hot food provision via food vans.
A post with those locations was shared yesterday.
You can go to any Life Life Aberdeenshire community facility (your local council leisure centre) today for a hot shower/charging.
Please remember about Storm Corrie, due to hit Aberdeenshire later today.
In the wake of Storm Corrie, falling temperatures may allow a brief period of snow in a few areas, mainly on hills.
Later in the night, clearer skies and wintry showers are expected, these most frequent for northwest and north Scotland, few and far between in eastern areas.
These are likely to lead to ice forming on untreated surfaces, while strong northwesterly winds may lead to temporary blizzard conditions over high ground, with 1-2 cm of snow above 200 m elevation and perhaps a few cm on the highest routes.
