There are warnings of further snowfall in parts of the UK while heavy rain could bring the threat of flooding.
The Met Office has issued an amber warning for snow, meaning be prepared, across much of Scotland, northern and eastern England and the Midlands.
But rain and melting snow may cause flooding in Wales, Northern Ireland and south-west England at the weekend.
A man who died when his car crashed into a river in Derbyshire has been named as David Cox, 42, from Buxton.
His wife's car crashed into the river five minutes later but she and their son escaped, as did his daughter who was in the car with him. Mr Cox worked for the BBC at its offices in Salford, Greater Manchester.
The fire brigade said the weather "certainly contributed" to the accident near Buxton.
The Met Office warned of up to 10cm (4in) of snow spreading from the west, and said people should be prepared for likely disruption particularly to travel.
It warned that strong winds would also lead to drifting and blizzard-like conditions.
A yellow warning for snow, which means be aware, has been issued for most of the rest of the UK.
The Environment Agency has one flood warning and 27 flood alerts in place.
Milder weatherBBC weather forecaster Steve Cleaton said there was a mixed picture: "When a weather front coming in from the west meets the cold air which has been hovering over the country the rain will turn to snow in Scotland, central and eastern England. But there will be heavy rain in Wales, western England and Northern Ireland."
He said several inches of snow had already been reported in Glasgow and Stirling.
Mr Cleaton said: "The snow will reach the Midlands and south-east England by this evening."
He said temperatures would rise over the next few days and, with the heavy rain in the west, there was the potential for flooding over the weekend in some parts.
In other developments:
The Environment Agency has warned of the risk of minor localised flooding in some areas due to the rapid thaw.
Flood risk manager Phil Rothwell said: "We are closely monitoring the situation and have teams ready to respond to any potential flooding. People should check out if they are in a flood risk area, and sign up to free flood warnings on the Environment Agency website."
The AA said it was gearing up for a busy day on Friday because it had received 9,000 call-outs, including 80 cars stuck in snow, by 14:00 GMT on Thursday.
Head of special operations Darron Burness said: "It's difficult for forecasters to know the extent of the snowfall, so check the local weather and traffic reports before heading out and be prepared for possible disruption.
"Take extra care, particularly on higher ground, and allow extra time for your journey."
Steve Crosthwaite, head of the Highways Agency's national traffic operations centre, said: "We have been working hard to keep motorways and major A-roads running throughout winter, and particularly over the last couple of weeks.
"With another flurry of snow expected, we ask people to remain alert and continue to take care when travelling.
"As always, we ask people to give our winter fleet the space they need to do their job and, during periods of particularly severe weather, to consider delaying their journeys until conditions improve."
