The UK is braced for blizzard conditions that could cause travel disruption until well into Tuesday.
There will be no sign of spring in northern parts of the UK, where winds of up to 60mph and fresh accumulations of snow are predicted.
Parts of Scotland can expect up to 20 centimetres (eight inches) of the white stuff.
Sky News Weather Producer Rebecca Yussuf said: "There will be gusts of 50-60mph around the coasts and hills in the North and West.
"Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England will see fresh accumulations of snow, especially over the higher ground.
"The Scottish Highlands can expect significant accumulations of 10 to 20 centimetres (four to eight inches) overnight.
"There is a risk of travel disruption, with icy stretches on untreated surfaces, and the strong winds will also create blizzard-like conditions over the hills."
The Met Office has issued a yellow "be aware" warning for Northern Ireland, Scotland and northwest England that lasts until 3pm on Tuesday.
The forecast follows a weekend of high tides as the 18.6-year tidal cycle reached its peak.
In Scarborough, a man walking his dog with a friend died after being swept into the sea by gale-force winds on Sunday night.
There remains a risk of coastal flooding during Monday, with 16 flood warnings in place covering Wales, the Midlands, the North West and South West.
Another 68 flood alerts are active, including 24 in the South West.
"Strong onshore winds will bring the risk of higher tide levels at high water," Yussuf said.
"There is a continued risk of coastal flooding at high tide on Monday."
The latest bout of wintry weather is being caused by a deep area of low pressure moving to the northwest of Scotland on Monday.
The forecast for the rest of the week remains "unsettled, wet and windy thanks to a succession of low pressure systems", said Yussuf.
