Schools open but roads still icy

Very few schools remained shut as lessons got back to normal but parents were still advised to check websites and make contact for updates.

Several schools in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire were closed because of heating problems.

Flights out of Luton Airport in Bedfordshire and Stansted Airport in Essex returned to normal levels after the severe weather.

Teams of gritters were out overnight as clear skies brought icy conditions.

Schools, colleges, nurseries and pre-schools were back to normal in Cambridgeshire, Essex, Northamptonshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

Drivers were still advised to take extra care on the roads especially in countryside areas that gritters have not reached.

Rail services were also recovering with normal services on most lines.
