The Met Office has said it is likely rain, snow and ice will be potential hazards throughout the week.
Temperatures reached as low as -11.2C in Braemar, Aberdeenshire on Monday night and there will be further “warnings likely in the coming days.”
In Watnall, Nottinghamshire 12cm of snow was recorded on Tuesday as the Arctic airmass continues to over the UK.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Neil Armstrong said, “With cold Arctic air firmly in place over the UK, continued winter hazards are likely through much of this week, with further updates to warnings likely in the coming days.
“The current focus for upcoming snow and ice risk is from later on Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday, with snow showers likely moving in off windward coasts in the north and east, as well as drifting into parts of Northern Ireland and Wales.
“In excess of 10cm of snow is possible over higher ground within the warning areas, with 1-2cm possibly settling at lower levels, which has the potential to lead to some travel disruption. Ice is an additional hazard and is likely to form quickly on untreated surfaces.”
National Highways Severe Weather Resilience Manager, Darren Clark said, “Gritters will be out treating our roads around the clock when ice or snow is forecast, but it is still important to drive to the conditions.
“Keep your distance and reduce your speed, because even in conditions that seem normal, and where the snow is not settling, it can be slippery if ice patches have formed, or where fresh grit has not been worked into the carriageway.
“Drivers should plan their journeys, monitor weather reports and pack a snow kit of blankets, food, water and a shovel.”
