Eight fresh weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office after snow and ice hit the UK as temperatures plummeted over the first weekend of 2025.
An amber snow warning covering much of Lancashire came into force at 9pm on Sunday and will last until 6am on Monday.
Meanwhile, a yellow rain warning covering the south coast of England is in place until 9am on Monday, as well as a second yellow rain warning covering much of Wales and northern England in force until 6am Monday.
Further north, a yellow snow and ice warning covering the Midlands, North Wales and much of northern England, is set to expire at midnight.
In Scotland, two snow and ice warnings and one yellow snow warning are in place. The snow and ice warnings, covering much of northern Scotland, are in place until 11am and 12 noon on Monday.
The yellow snow warning, covering some of the lowlands, is in place until 12 noon. In Northern Ireland, a yellow ice warning is in place from midnight until 11am on Monday.
The warnings come after thousands of Britons were hit by power cuts, flight cancellations and travel chaos after heavy snow swept across the UK over the weekend.
Stranded vehicles and collisions left key roads in northern England closed while rail services were cancelled and several major airports were forced to shut their doors.
Snow closed the A628 Woodhead Pass which connects Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire through the Peak District overnight in both directions between the A616 at Flouch and the A57 at Hollingworth.
The A66 in County Durham and Cumbria was closed between the M6 and A1(M) because of the conditions, while the A1 was closed southbound between the A639 North Elmsall.
The M180 in Lincolnshire was closed westbound between J5 Grimsby and J4 Lincoln due to a serious collision.
Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport also closed their runways for several hours on Sunday morning due to heavy snow.
Leeds Bradford Airport confirmed shortly after 2.15pm that its runway had reopened but added some disruption was expected to continue throughout the day.
It had earlier warned that access through security could be temporarily restricted due to the high number of customers already in the departure lounge awaiting flights.
National Rail said the line between Leeds and Halifax via Dewsbury was closed in both directions, with disruption on northern routes expected into Monday.
Avanti West Coast trains running to and from Liverpool Lime Street were cancelled due to depot issues with disruption expected until midday.
Bingley in West Yorkshire had 17cm of snow up to 11am on Sunday, with Shap in Cumbria and Capel Curig in north-west Wales, both recording 10cm, the forecaster said.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued an amber Cold-Health Alert (CHA) ahead of a week of plummeting temperatures. It will start at midday on Thursday and last until Wednesday.
There is an “increase in risk to health” for elderly people, people with pre-existing health conditions, and other vulnerable groups – including those sleeping rough.
