Parts of the UK have been waking up to a fresh blanket of snow, following a night that saw temperatures drop as low as -11C (12.2F).
Even parts of London are seeing light snow falls but higher ground such as the North York Moors and Lincolnshire Wolds have been told to expect up to 10cm (4in) of snow.
The Met Office has issued weather warnings for snow and ice in much of the UK and gritters have been out in force.
The Highlands village of Dalwhinnie felt the coldest temperature overnight, with the mercury plunging to -11C and Katesbridge Co Down reached -8C.
Sky News weather forecaster Isobel Lang said that while snow falls in the southern and eastern areas of the country would only be up to 4cm (1.5in), this would still cause difficult travel conditions.
Temperatures will reach a high of around 5C, with Wales, the West Midlands and northwest England seeing the best of the dry and fine weather.
Lang added: "Today will see further wintry showers across eastern and southeastern areas of England, although they will become less frequent and turn more sleety.
"During this evening and overnight there will be another widespread frost with the risk of icy patches as further wintry showers spread in across eastern England.
"Showers are unlikely to spread as far inland as last night, ice is likely to be a risk too."
Temperatures will struggle to get above 6C in parts of England, including London, according to Met Office forecaster Kirk Waite.
The trains seemed to be handling the snow well in the morning, with most running a normal service.
Signal problems meant delays for some, however, including South Eastern, Southern, London Midland and ScotRail.
Heavy traffic was reported on many of the nation's main roads, according to the Highways Agency, with the worst congestion seen on the M62 towards Hull entry slip road from the A15 after an accident closed the road.
Roads with moderate congestion included the A174 westbound between the junctions with the A1032 and the A19; the A34 southbound between the junctions with the A4130 and the M4.
