People in western Britain are being warned about more ice on the roads, as police reported a major pile-up on a frozen motorway.
Greater Manchester Police said seven people had been injured in the crash, which involved up to 10 cars on the A627(M) in Oldham.
Met Office severe weather warnings remain in place in Wales and western parts of England and Scotland.
Salt shortages will limit gritting, making driving conditions difficult.
More snow is likely in the Pennines and Scottish and Welsh hills but the Environment Agency has warned about flooding in some areas.
Temperatures in the West may reach 10C (50F) later, and there are fears warmer weather in the coming days may bring flooding.
BBC weather forecaster Sarah Keith-Lucas said Saturday could see localised flooding in western parts of the UK caused by melting snow and rain.
The Met Office said: "Heavy rain will move in from the west accompanied by strong to gale-force winds."
It added that up to 25mm (1in) of rainfall was likely.
An Environment Agency spokesman said: "There may be an increased risk of flooding in some areas over the weekend due to predicted heavy rain and the partial thawing of snow due to slightly higher temperatures."
