The Met Office has issued another series of snow warnings with Britain set to see four more inches fall today alone in its snowiest spell for two years.
Scotland and parts of northern England are expected to be affected from 11am today until midnight, with disruption to travel likely.
The most severe snow is due to come in north of the Central Belt in Scotland, according to the national weather agency.
Further warnings are in place from midnight on Thursday to Friday morning in North East England, Yorkshire and Humber, and parts of Scotland, including the Grampian Mountains.
As a result, there is a risk of rural communities becoming cut off, as well as power going down and mobile phone coverage becoming limited.
It comes after up to seven inches fell overnight into yesterday and temperatures plummeted to -10C in the early hours as January's subzero cold snap continues.
Warnings were still in place for snow or ice across large swathes of the country until this morning and weather charts show Manchester, Birmingham and Cardiff all dipped to zero or below in the early hours.
Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, Lancashire and North Yorkshire are among the areas in England due to be hit with a wintry downpour today.
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said the UK is currently in the midst of its "snowiest spell" since late January 2019 after 20 weather stations recorded accumulations of 5cm or more for three days consecutively.
And the ongoing stormy weather will see the country struck by 40mph winds and heavy rain.
Mr Claydon said: "Everywhere will likely see rain over the next week, as it moves west to east.
"Weather systems will pass over pretty much everywhere over the UK.
"With lots of the UK already saturated from the heavy rainfall we have seen last week, it doesn't take much for it to tip the balance and provide another flood risk."
The Environment Agency currently has 21 flood warnings - meaning 'immediate action' is needed - as well as 50 less severe flood alerts in place across England.
