The UK is facing another freezing night after a week that saw temperatures plummet lower than those in Moscow and Oslo.
Following a weekend gripped by the coldest temperatures of 2017, the freeze is expected to loosen its hold on Wednesday.
But a severe yellow weather warning will continue until 11am across most of England, Wales and Scotland, as remaining ice threatens treacherous conditions on roads and paths.
Many areas enjoyed a blanket of snow thick enough for sledging and snowmen.
Thousands of homes were also left without power.
Disruptions also grounded flights and caused delays to and from airports including Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. British Airways cancelled 170 flights on Sunday and more than 100 on Monday.
Meanwhile, rail disruptions caused travel chaos, with cancellations between Birmingham and Bristol after a landslide caused by the severe weather.
