Families enjoyed wintry walks across the Racecourse in Oswestry, while there was light snow across Powys.
More snow was expected to hit Scotland, with between 10 and 20cm predicted for the Borders to the north of Perth and into the Cairngorms, with 30cm possible in the higher areas.
Much of Scotland, part of Northern Ireland and some of the North of England were still under severe weather warnings.
But the rest of the country was unlikely to see particularly cold weather again today and London and south-east England were even due to see temperatures rise to around 10C.
The shift will be a welcome relief to commuters who have battled treacherous conditions on the roads in many parts of the country affected by the snow and winds.
A man, understood to be in his 50s and from Aberdeenshire, died yesterday when his car slipped off the road and plunged 30ft down an embankment in Scotland.
About 30 road traffic collisions were reported in North Yorkshire as vehicles skidded on the snow.
