Hundreds of schools have been shut across the country and flights cancelled as weather warnings remain in force with snow bringing disruption.
It comes after temperatures dropped to minus 10.9C at Shap in Cumbria overnight, and 52cm of snow was recorded by the Met Office at Tomintoul in Banffshire.
A number of severe weather warnings expired on Monday morning, but snow and ice warnings are still in force for much of Scotland north of Glasgow, parts of Wales and the South West, and east England stretching up to the Scottish Borders.
A yellow ice warning has been issued for Northern Ireland from 5pm on Monday to 10am on Tuesday, while a fresh warning for snow and ice covers from just above Glasgow to the north of England from midnight until 11am on Tuesday.
Most of the current warnings are set to expire by 11am on Tuesday, but Scotland north of Glasgow will remain under a yellow warning until midnight, with the Met Office saying snow and ice is likely to bring further disruption.
A further 2-5cm of snow is likely to fall fairly widely, and there is a chance some areas could see a further 10-15cm, particularly over higher ground above 200 metres.
Yellow warnings are issued for a range of weather situations, including when it is likely that the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places, or when the weather could bring much more severe impacts to the majority of people but the certainty of those impacts occurring is much lower, according to the Met Office.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued amber cold health alerts for England as an early warning that adverse temperatures are likely to affect health and wellbeing, running until Friday.
