Travel across much of the UK has been made treacherous due to freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall.
Several road closures are in force, while trains and flights have been hit by delays and cancellations.
Here are some of the latest reported issues.
Roads
In Scotland, 300 motorists remained stuck on the M80. Around 1,000 were there overnight as heavy snow fell. The motorway was closed southbound between junctions 8 and 9.
Police Scotland warned people not to travel unless they were an emergency worker.
Lincolnshire Police warned overnight that the A52 was “impassable” between Boston and Skegness due to drifting snow, and warned that drivers faced becoming stranded.
“We are not in a position to recover you,” the force tweeted.
The fire and rescue service added that even a snowplough was unable to get through to clear the route.
Several other roads in Lincolnshire have also been shut, including the A17 and the A15 between the M180 and Lincoln.
Cheshire Police said there were around eight miles of tailbacks on the M62 as officers with 4x4s, Highways England patrols, contractors and snowploughs attempted to clear snow between junctions 21 and 22 eastbound.
By 8.30am on Thursday morning the AA said it had already answered calls from more than 100 drivers stuck in snow, with East Anglia and the North East the worst-hit regions.
AA president Edmund King compared driving on many “atrocious” UK roads to skating on ice rinks, and said they had added extra patrols and 4x4s to cope with the severe conditions.
The A66 in Cumbria was closed in both directions between Scotch Corner and Brough, due to “severe snowfall”, while the A56 in Lancashire was likely to be closed for “several hours” due to a lorry crash between the M65 and A680.
Northumbria Police said the A68 was closed between Corbridge and Ridsdale.
In Derbyshire, the Woodhead Pass was shut in both directions between Tintwistle and Flouch.
