Widespread travel disruption is expected across the UK this morning as yellow warnings for ice, fog and snow remain in place.
The Met Office issued the alerts as temperatures were expected to stay well below freezing overnight and create icy conditions.
The warnings are in place until later this morning for northern and southwestern Scotland, Northern Ireland, northeastern England, the Midlands and South West, as well as London and the South East.

There is also a snow and ice warning for the far north of Scotland and the coast of northern England, which continues through to midday on Thursday.
Gatwick and Stansted were both forced to close their runways to clear snow, and passengers are being advised to check their flight before leaving for the airport.
National Highways is warning of "hazardous conditions" on the roads in the South East and east of England on Monday morning.
There are "severe delays" reported on the M25, which is closed between junction 23 and 25 in Hertfordshire due to "heavy snowfall".
Other roads affected in the region include the M11, M2, A21, A27 and A249.
The Met Office said Kent and Sussex were likely to be worst affected, with areas most exposed - such as the North and South Downs - likely to see more significant accumulations of snow.

National Highways operations manager for Kent, Gina Oxley, said on Sunday that heavy snow was expected to continue in the area until later this morning.
"We have been out gritting throughout the afternoon and we're continuing to treat routes so we can reach the worst-affected areas and support our customers with their journeys," she said.
On the trains, a number of operators warned services could be badly affected on Monday.
Southeastern tweeted that people should not travel, with some routes suspended until later and others disrupted.
Thameslink said materials needed for weekend engineering work had frozen, meaning it would take longer to complete and affect some services.
Greater Anglia said passengers should not travel until after 8am if possible, as did c2c, saying that safety checks needed to be carried out.
Great Northern said Services were subject "to late notice delay or cancellation".
National Rail warned disruption to the southeast network was likely to continue after severe delays on Sunday night.
"To allow Network Rail to check that the rails are clear of snow and ice, which can prevent trains from drawing power from the electric rail, the first trains in each direction on all routes will be cancelled," it said.
News UK, publisher of The Sun and The Times, said the weather had affected its printers in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, meaning possible delivery delays in many parts of the country.
Met Office meteorologist Rachel Ayers said that although cold temperatures, freezing fog and wintry showers are expected to last through the week, cloud cover could prevent a return of some of the more extreme temperatures experienced in recent days.
There is a possibility of slightly milder conditions arriving next weekend but it is too early to be certain, she said.
