The Met Office warned residents in northeast England, Yorkshire and Humber, and the East Midlands to “be prepared” for more snow disruption on Tuesday with as much as four inches forecast in some areas.
Several trains between London and East Anglia were cancelled on Monday as the year’s first flurry of snow moved its way southward.
Forecasters are predicting further dumps during what is expected to be a bitterly cold week, forcing the country’s fleet of gritters out onto its main roads.
“With some very low temperatures over the next few nights we also expect ice in many places and people should be prepared for travel problems,” said Eddy Carroll, chief forecaster for the Met Office.
Temperatures were expected to plunge as low as -10C in Scotland and to -5C in northeast England early Tuesday.
BBC duty weather manager, Holly Green, explained that the weather system was gradually moving southwards out of the far north-east and into East Anglia.
