In southern England, where very large snowfalls have particularly affected the Home Counties, military units have been undertaking numerous tasks to assist people coping with the weather.
During the night, near Petersfield in Hampshire, 47 Regiment Royal Artillery deployed a Land Rover and a four-tonne truck from their base in Thorney Island at the request of Hampshire Constabulary who have been dealing with 600 stranded vehicles on the A3.
The troops provided humanitarian aid to the southern end of the blocked road near Clanfield.
Simultaneously, a further Land Rover and three four-tonne trucks belonging to 104 Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) deployed from their base in Bordon to do the same from the northern end of the blockage around Petersfield.
On their way, two of the four-tonne trucks helped some 200 stranded vehicles along the A325 near Bordon, ferrying motorists to a rest centre in Bordon. In all there were in excess of thirty soldiers working from 47 Regiment, 104 Battalion and Aldershot Garrison.
The troops recovered lorries, coaches and tankers that were snowed in, as well as clearing roads of fallen trees, pulling them to one side with strops and tow ropes, and transporting motorists to emergency aid centres.
Having worked through the night, these troops have now been stood down and seven Land Rovers from the Royal Military Police based at Longmoor are deploying with ten soldiers to assist the police from Whitehill. They will disperse along the A3 along with the police to assist motorists as the severe weather continues.
The Army remains on standby in the region for the foreseeable future to provide humanitarian aid as and when called upon.
Meanwhile, in the North East of the country, troops from 146 Field Company, 104 Battalion REME, part of 15 (North East) Brigade, have been continuing to assist Sue Ryder carers with the delivery of meals to vulnerable people in the Doncaster and Barnsley areas.
Surprisingly the Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Centre at RAF Kinloss in Scotland has only taken six calls in the last 24 hours but they were busier over the weekend with calls to people stranded in mountainous areas.
Today they have been principally helping out the Ambulance Service by taking helicopters to casualties in areas cut off by snow.
This morning crews from Chivenor went to assist a pregnant woman in North Devon. She had given birth by the time they arrived but the baby was suffering complications so the crew took the infant to North Devon District Hospital.
