Large swathes of the UK should prepare for more snow, with scattered showers expected on Thursday along with some sunshine.
The wintry weather is set to continue after temperatures plunged to below -21C overnight the coldest in more than a decade.
Braemar, Aberdeenshire saw the mercury fall to -21.4C, the lowest it has been since December 2010.
Yellow weather warnings have been issued for the morning in the eastern half of Scotland and England, Devon, and southwest Wales, with residents alerted that they could face travel disruption.
As the snow clears towards the east through the morning, it could become “quite pleasant outside with the sunshine, although still bitterly cold” in western areas, Met Office meteorologist Clare Nasir told PA.
The cold snap will continue tomorrow, Ms Nasir said, warning that the weather on Friday and over the weekend is expected to turn “quite hazardous” as “an area of cloud and rain” combined with extremely cold air brings further risk of snow, and “perhaps even of freezing rain”.
Cities in northern England should brace for bitter temperatures on Thursday, with Manchester and Carlisle likely to see the mercury fall as far as -4C, while York is expected to have lows of -6C.
