Welcome to our live coverage as parts of the nation prepare for freezing temperatures, heavy snow showers and ice.
An amber warning for snow in Cumbria has been in place throughout the day, with the Met Office saying 10-15cm of snow is possible in some areas before showers begin to ease.
The alert, which runs until midnight, means travel delays and power cuts are likely and rural communities could become cut off.
The weather service has also issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice from 6pm to 12pm tomorrow covering much of the Midlands, Yorkshire, the North East and North West of England, and North and Central Wales.
Forecasters have warned wintry conditions across the UK are likely to result in icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths, posing the risk of injury from slips and falls.
They also warned travellers faced longer journey times.
Another warning of ice, stretching from East Anglia to South Wales and from Northamptonshire down to Kent, is in place from midnight to 8am on Sunday.
The Met Office said, while not everywhere will see accumulating snow, some places will likely see 1-3cm, with 5-10cm possible over some hills and mountains in Wales, the Peak District and South Pennines.
