Perilous sheets of ice and layers of frozen snow on roads are making driving conditions dangerous across much of Britain today.
Forecasters are warning that after yesterday's "thundersnow" storms, more sleet and snow showers could strike around the country and low temperatures are likely to plummet further across the weekend.
A Level 3, or severe weather warning, has been issued across the North and West of England stretching from Friday evening until next Thursday.
"This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services," a statement on the Met Office website warned.
Some 23cm (9in) of snow fell in some areas on Thursday and a fresh wave of the white stuff is expected tomorrow and Sunday as an Arctic blast sweeps in.
Sky weather presenter Jo Wheeler said: "As evening approaches showers will become more widespread across Scotland and Ireland, before spreading into northern England and Wales.
"Overnight, those showers will spread southeastwards, turning to snow away from Wales, northwestern England and the South West.
"Early showers in the South East and across East Anglia on Saturday may also fall as snow giving a light dusting in places.
"For Scotland and Northern Ireland, the snow level will be dropping through the day, with showers increasingly turning to snow at lower levels.
"Temperatures will reach 6C at best, although many parts will be colder."
