Flood Alerts Follow Snowfall
The UK Environment Agency has issued flood warnings across Britain, following another night of heavy snow.
Some parts of the country woke to over 10cm (4in) of snow on Monday morning.
Most areas have been covered in a white blanket at least 5cm deep.
Nick Prebble, a forecaster for MeteoGroup at the Press Association, said: "The snow will linger in the early morning before slowly easing and being replaced by rain in many places.
"The snow will thaw quickly so shouldn't cause much disruption."
Temperatures are expected to remain cold, hovering a few degrees above freezing point.
The Environment Agency has more than 100 flood alerts in place, while the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings because of the danger of ice following the snow.
Twenty-three more serious flood warnings have been issued in parts of the south-west and the Midlands.
But overall the forecast risk of flooding across England and Wales remains low.
More snow is expected to fall on Tuesday, with heavier snowfalls on Wednesday before the weather settles towards the end of the week.
