The Met Office has issued a yellow snow and ice warning covering northern Scotland from midnight on Tuesday until noon on Thursday.
It could get even colder
Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said there will be heavy snow in some places again on Tuesday.
"Coming into force at midnight tonight all the way through to lunchtime on Thursday, (there is a) large snow and ice warning covering the North East of England, the whole sort of northern portion of Scotland, as well as the Highlands and islands," he said.
He said there could be "as much as 15 to 20 centimetres of snow accumulating over high ground".
Mr Claydon said northern Scotland could record even colder temperatures on Tuesday after breaking the record for the coldest night of the year on Monday.
"In terms of temperature, we could see another very cold night, especially in parts of Scotland where we've got that lying snow," he said.
"We saw minus 15C last night. We could see similar or potentially even colder tonight under clear skies with that snowfall lying in some places.
"So a very cold night there but also broadly very cold across the whole of the UK, with widespread freezing conditions."
