Heavy snow has caused misery for Christmas travellers across England, with passengers stranded at airports and drivers stuck on motorways.
No flights are arriving at Heathrow Airport and only seven were due to leave, while 50 flights have been cancelled at Gatwick.
There are delays and cancellations at many other airports.
Many drivers on the A34 in Oxfordshire were stuck in cars overnight and faced queues of up to eight hours on Sunday.
More than 80 cars were abandoned and several jack-knifed lorries blocked the road.
A tanker carrying liquid petroleum gas has overturned on the M25 in Kent, causing police to close the motorway in both directions between junctions five and six.
The Met Office is warning of icy roads across most of England on Sunday.
Heavy snow is predicted for Yorkshire and Humber and the North East.
There are delays and cancellations at Stansted, Luton, Exeter, London City, Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton airports.
Ryanair has cancelled 84 flights to or from UK airports, mainly in the London area.
Hundreds of thousands of Britons were due to fly this weekend, according to travel association Abta, but many had their plans disrupted.
Thousands were stranded at Heathrow Airport overnight, and hundreds more at Gatwick.
Many were forced to sleep on the floor of the terminals.
A spokeswoman for Heathrow, which experienced temperatures of -5.2C overnight, said: "Heathrow Airport will not be accepting arrivals on Sunday, and will only manage a handful of departures as our airfield team continues to deal with the impacts of yesterday's bad weather and prepares the airport for a full reopening on Monday."
On the trains, First Great Western , First Capital Connect and South West Trains have some changes to schedules due to the weather.
Southern and Southeastern are running normal Sunday services, although there may be some cancellations.
There are also delays of up to an hour on the Eurostar.
