Flood-hit areas of Britain are braced for more downpours but there are signs the country is getting back to normal with a dry morning and little rain overnight.
Forecasters said wet weather would arrive again later but in the form of light showers rather than a deluge.
It follows a stormy Monday which saw waves of wet weather batter the north of England and Wales, leaving dozens of homes and businesses under water.
Rail and road links remain affected by flooding, with fears of widespread ice on roads in from the Midlands northwards.
Northern Rail's website said it expected some services to remain suspended throughout the day with replacement buses operating where available.
The firm is advising passengers in affected areas not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
There were no trains operating from Leeds to York, Harrogate, Bradford, Manchester Victoria, Sheffield or Blackpool North and flooding forced the closure of the line between Sheffield and Barnsley.
Some Northern Rail services, including Bolton to Blackburn and Clitheroe, Preston to Ormskirk and Carlisle to Whitehaven, are expected to resume today.
The North TransPennine route between Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Leeds will also be closed today, according to the company's internet site.
Forecaster Stephen Davenport predicted 15mm of rain in the next 24 hours, which he described as "nothing spectacular".
He said: "The next band of wet weather is going to arrive this morning, but it doesn't look as if it's going to be particularly heavy."
Tony Burgess from the Met Office warned of colder weather on the way.
He said: "I think most of the rain has moved away that's caused the problems across the north, but it looks like quite a sharp frost in prospect. There will be quite a lot of ice in prospect in the north."
He said the south of England, which has experienced remarkably warm weather in recent days, could expect a cold snap later in the week.
The Met Office has seven severe weather warnings in force warning of "widespread icy roads" in northern England, the Midlands, Wales, central and southern Scotland.
At 5.15am the Environment Agency's had eight severe flood warnings, 100 flood warnings and 178 lesser flood watches in place. This is well down from the 14 severe warnings in place last night.
