Storm Bert battered Britain with snow, rain and strong winds on Saturday, killing one person and closing several railway lines, bridges and roads.
The storm also hit Ireland, flooding roads in the west and cutting power to tens of thousands of customers.
A man in his 60s died after a tree fell on a car on the A34 highway in southern England, local police said.
The runway at the Newcastle airport in northeast England was covered in snow, briefly disrupting flights.
Snow covered roads and stranded cars in parts of the northern UK.
