Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice were issued in many parts of north and west Scotland, from Wednesday morning to midday on Thursday.
Between 2cm and 5cm (up to 2in) of snow is expected widely and it could reach 10cm in some parts of the north-west mainland, with higher ground seeing 15cm to 20cm (up to 7.8in), the Met Office said.
Meanwhile, a warning remains in place until midday on Wednesday for the east Midlands, east, and north-east of England, Yorkshire and south-west Scotland.
There could be power cuts, untreated pavements and cycle paths may become impassable, and some rural communities could be cut off, the Met Office warned.
There is also a risk of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces.

A Met Office spokesperson said: "Rain, snow and ice continue to be potential hazards through this week as an Arctic airmass continues to influence the UK's weather, bringing potential ongoing disruption for some.
"A number of weather warnings for snow and ice are currently in place, and more are expected today.
"We are keeping an eye on a more organised band of rain and hill snow affecting the south-west through tomorrow as a larger system runs into the continent.
They added: "It will be feeling very cold for most, with daytime temperatures in the low single figures, with a wind chill meaning it will be feeling even cooler.
"Despite the below average temperatures, there will be a good deal of sunshine away from the wintry showers near the coasts."
