Britons have been warned to brace for heavy snow and sleet as temperatures continue to plummet.
The Met Office say two regions in England are expecting more wintry conditions on Wednesday.
Forecasters warn that South West and North East England will likely see light rain and snow on higher ground on Wednesday.
Despite the snow warning, the Met Office added there will be "largely sunny skies and small amounts of cloud".
Wednesday's forecast suggests there will be "a mix of sleet and snow showers" from the east, with temperatures near zero.
The Met Office has warned of travel disruption following its latest warning about ice.
A spokesperson said: "An isolated snow flurry is possible this evening but thereafter a dry night with clear periods. Rather breezy and feeling very cold with a widespread frost developing.
"Some ice developing in places, especially where any snow flurries occur."
The forecast from Wednesday to Friday predicts: "The largely dry and settled weather will continue with plenty of sunshine on Wednesday.
"Cloudier skies on Thursday and Friday. Cold with overnight frosts, especially at first. Breezy at times."

Alongside the snow warning, 126 flood warnings remain in place across England where flooding is expected.
The Environment Agency (EA) say the majority of flood warnings are in the south of England and the Midlands, particularly through Reading, Slough, Oxford, Salisbury and further north in Cheltenham and Peterborough.
It comes after a series of yellow weather warnings were issued for Cornwall, South Wales, parts of the Midlands, London and East Anglia on Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to drop to -9C in the Scottish Highlands.
Dr Agostinho Sousa, Head of Extreme Events and Health Protection at UKHSA, said: "With the Met Office forecasting drops in temperature across the United Kingdom into next week, it is important to check in on the wellbeing of those most vulnerable to the cold.
"Cold weather can increase the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and chest infections, so it can have a serious impact on health, particularly for older people and those with pre-existing health conditions.
"Temperatures are expected to turn particularly cold overnight, as we would expect at this time of year.
"If you have a pre-existing medical condition or are over the age of 65 it is important to try and heat the rooms where you spend most of your time, such as your living room or bedroom, in the coming days."
