Snow and ice will continue to cause disruption in parts of the UK over the coming days as the cold snap could last until Friday, the Met Office has warned.
A Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice across parts of England, including Merseyside, will be in place from 12pm on Monday until 12pm on Tuesday.
The forecaster said "snow showers and icy stretches may bring some disruption", and warned this could lead to longer journeys for drivers and train passengers.

It said treacherous conditions could also lead to slips and falls on icy surfaces, and urged drivers and cyclists to beware of icy patches on untreated roads.
It comes after wintry conditions moved in from the Arctic over the weekend, with people in areas such as Hexham, in Northumberland, waking up to settled snow on Monday.
The Met Office added: "Snow showers will become more frequent through Monday, continuing to feed in on north-westerly winds overnight. Accumulations of a couple of centimetres are possible at low levels, with higher ground expected to see 5-10cm in places.
"In addition, icy stretches are likely to form following showers."

On Monday, Met Office senior meteorologist Alex Burkill said: "It's fair to say it's cold today, cold tonight, cold tomorrow and cold through much of the week really. There will be "lots of clear blue skies" by later on Monday, but cold temperatures will remain, with "absolute highs of 6C or 7C" while many places will be "several degrees colder than that".
He added: "Lots of places will be low single figures, some places will stay below freezing today."
He said Monday night is likely to be widely "slightly colder" than the night before, possibly bringing lows of minus 10C or minus 11C.
The cold weather with "showery rain, sleet and snow" will continue into Wednesday and Thursday before becoming "more changeable" on Friday and conditions are "milder by the weekend," he added.
