Cold weather has intensified across the UK, with more snow forecast, and overnight temperatures of -10C (14F) predicted in parts of the country.
Amber warnings for snow are in place, covering parts of Scotland, north-east England, the East Midlands, the east and south-east of England and London.
The Met Office warned that travel disruption was likely on Wednesday.
On Tuesday four people died, hundreds of schools were closed and flights cancelled as heavy snow hit the UK.
The Met Office said up to 15cm (6 inches) of snow was expected to fall in parts of the East Midlands, the east and south-east of England and London.
The amber warning – meaning a possible risk to life and property – is in force between 00:30 and 10:00 GMT.
The Met Office said that delays to rail and air travel were also likely and some rural communities could be cut off.
Up to 40cm (15in) of snow could fall in north-east England and Scotland, between Wednesday morning and 18:00 on Thursday, the Met Office warned.
“Strong winds will lead to drifting of snow and severe wind chill, while lightning could be an additional hazard, particularly near coasts.”
