The Met Office has issued a new yellow weather warning for snow and ice for most parts of the UK.
Forecasters said the latest warning covers much of the Midlands, Yorkshire and north and mid-Wales.
Roads and rail are “likely to be affected” by the situation, increasing journey times by road, bus and train, the Met Office said.
Manchester United’s flight to Newcastle has been canceled ahead of Saturday’s match.
According to reports, the men’s team had to travel by coach to the Northeast instead due to inclement weather.
Heavy snow overnight forced Glasgow Airport to suspend all flights for several hours on Saturday morning.
Two flights bound for Glasgow were forced to divert to Prestwick and Edinburgh airports.
Glasgow Airport said flights resumed just after 10pm Japan time, but passengers are urged to check with their airlines as disruptions are still expected.
The freeze is expected to continue in other parts of the country over the weekend, with several sporting events across the UK being canceled due to the snow and ice.
The FA Cup match between Alfreton Town and Walsall was called off just minutes before kick-off due to unsuitable match conditions.
Crewe Alexandra’s FA Cup match against Bristol Rovers was also called off, while Saturday’s high-profile race match against Newcastle was also called off due to snow on the track.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s latest yellow weather warning will remain in place until Sunday.
However, the yellow warning that was in place on Friday for the north coast and south-west of Scotland, and the south-west and east coast of England, was lifted on Saturday morning.
Separately, the Amber Cold Health Alert issued by the UK Health and Safety Executive remains in place for five areas of the UK.
According to the agency’s warning, the cold wave is likely to affect the entire medical service, potentially putting the entire population at risk.
The warning will remain in place for the East Midlands, West Midlands, North West, North East, Yorkshire and the Humber until December 5.
Temperatures ranged from -3C (27F) to -6C (21F) across the UK on Friday, and were widely seen in major towns and cities.
It was -5C in Manchester and Edinburgh, and -3C in south-west London and Birmingham.
The lowest temperature recorded on Friday was -9.4C in Shap, Cumbria, the Met Office said.
