The cold snap and amber health alerts are expected to end tomorrow.
Britain was blanketed with early morning frost again yesterday as overnight temperatures dropped as low as -13.9C in Kinbrace, northern Scotland.
Freezing fog swept the South East, including Castle Rising in Norfolk.
Children leapfrogged snowmen in Harrogate, Yorks.
And a fire engine slid into the River Taff, Cardiff.
The UK Health Security Agency extended amber cold weather health alerts warning of a rise in deaths across England until Tuesday.
It will end the bitter cold snap after -18.9C in Scottish Highlands hamlet Altnaharra on Friday became the coldest January night for 15 years.
Predicting 12C up north and 9C down south, Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said: “It will be back to average temperatures generally for the time of year.”
