More snow, ice and rain is on the way after schools were shut and travel disrupted amid weather warnings.
Snow covered parts of the UK on Thursday after 10cm of snow was measured by the Met Office in Kirkwall, Orkney, while 9cm was recorded in Bingley, West Yorkshire.
Dozens of schools shut as a result in northern England and North Wales, while disruption should be expected on roads and railways.
An amber weather warning in place across the Pennines on Thursday has passed, but a mixture of yellow rain and snow warnings are still in force across the four nations.
Power cuts and travel delays could be seen along with potential injuries from falling on icy surfaces.
Snow settled particularly quickly in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Wrexham, while Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said earlier the worst of the weather is still to come.
"Through [Thursday] morning and this afternoon, you're more likely to see accumulations," he added. "The snow risk tomorrow is moving much further north, and it will be a bit of a drier day."
Sky News' north of England correspondent Shingi Mararike, who is currently in Harden, West Yorkshire, said the snow was coming "thick and fast".
"The scenes are postcard-like and picturesque but that does come with its dangers," he said.
