New weather warnings have been issued around the UK as snow continued to fall overnight.
More than 200 schools closed on Tuesday because of the snow; half of those schools were in Wales.
Some of those schools are expected to stay closed on Wednesday.
Temperatures are expected to stay below freezing in lots of places, with parts of rural Scotland potentially reaching -12 degrees Celsius on Wednesday night.

Travel was also disrupted - East Midlands Railway, London North Eastern Railway, Transport for Wales, West Midlands Trains and CrossCountry all reported cancellations and delays of over half an hour.
Weather forecasters have said the wintry conditions will last late into Wednesday, meaning those who still have to go into school may find it takes longer to get there and back.
High up areas of Scotland could also see up to 20cm of snow.
Where are the weather warnings now?
Yellow warnings for eastern and northern England and Northern Ireland have come into effect, and a new yellow warning has been issued in parts of western Scotland.
Weather warnings are used to describe how bad the weather is, and what action we might need to take.
Yellow warnings are the Met Office's least serious weather warning, which means there might be disruption but most people can carry on their daily activities as normal.
The warnings will stay in place until at least midday on Wednesday.
The Met Office's chief meteorologist, Neil Armstrong, said: "With cold Arctic air firmly in place over the UK, continued winter hazards are likely through much of this week, with further updates to warnings likely in the coming days."
