But the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for ice on Monday (March 19) as temperatures continue to struggle to get above freezing and the setting snow looks set to harden. 

The weather warning will be in place from 12am until 10am on Monday. 

The Met Office chief forecaster's assessment says: "After a very cold day on Sunday, temperatures are likely to fall well below freezing across many areas into the start of Monday.

"This will lead to any partly melted snow refreezing.

"Snow in the south and South West of England will be slower to clear and may take until morning before dying out completely, whilst some wintry showers may continue to affect eastern coasts, falling onto subzero surfaces."
