A Met Office warning of snow covers Northern Ireland, much of England, northern Wales and south-west Scotland
Thousands of homes around the UK remain without electricity after severe weather disrupted supplies.
Up to 14,000 properties in Northern Ireland, about 10,000 in Scotland and 500 in Wales are still without power despite efforts by energy firms to reconnect them.
Weather warnings also remain in place across much of the UK after two days of wintry conditions.
Two people are known to have died - one in Lancashire and one in Cornwall.
Numerous roads in many regions became impassable after snow on Friday and Saturday.
On Saturday, dozens of people had to be rescued on the A595, near Bootle in Cumbria, where people were forced to abandon their cars.
Snow also made stretches of the A714, in Dumfries and Galloway, impassable.
For Sunday, the Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning of ice for a large chunk of the UK from London in the south-east, across north Wales up to Northern Ireland and across northern England and southern Scotland.
It says lying snow in many areas will melt on roads and pavements by day, refreezing by night to give icy patches.
Some places, mainly in eastern England, will continue to get light snow, possibly up to a couple of inches.
Also, snow blowing off fields in strong to gale force winds will affect some roads, especially over high ground, it said.
Ice damageAll flights at East Midlands Airport were still grounded on Sunday morning, after it was shut by snow for several hours on Saturday,
Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) said 7,000 homes were without power the Isle of Arran and on the Kintyre peninsula.
It said "severe ice loading damage" had been found on many of its wood pole lines in Kintyre and on Arran, and three steel towers had collapsed under the weight of ice on the conductors near Crossaig in Kintyre.
In Dumfries and Galloway, Scottish Power said it was trying to reconnect power to 3,000 homes overnight.
On Sunday it said about 500 homes in north east Wales remain without electricity. At the worst point over the weekend, around 6,000 homes suffered power cuts.
In Lancashire a 27-year-old man's body was found in deep snow in farmland near Burnley on Saturday afternoon, police said.
Police believe the man, who has not been named, had tried to walk home in severe weather late on Friday night.
It followed the discovery of a woman's body in the debris of her house after a landslip in Looe, Cornwall, early on Friday morning.
Emergency callsThe weather disrupted all calls to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service when power cuts affected the communication network.
During a three-hour period, all 999 calls had to be diverted to Scotland, then details were passed on to Northern Ireland via mobile phone.
John McPoland, from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, said: "[It was a] very serious incident for us, but the contingency plans have worked well.... there [was] a slight delay in response to the calls but we don't believe that anybody has missed out so far."
Throughout Saturday a number of roads and airports were shut and many sport fixtures in England were cancelled.
The cold weather comes as the UK prepares to enter British Summer Time next Sunday.
Forecasters have predicted that it could be the coldest March for 50 years.
Average temperatures for the month in 1962 were 2.8C.
