GRITTERS will once again be out on the county's roads as the temperatures drop to below freezing.
A weather warning for icy conditions has been put in place until tomorrow morning.
Thames Valley Police has been responding to many incidents throughout the day and has urged people not to travel 'unless absolutely necessary.'
In a statement the force said: "Following heavy snowfall across the Thames Valley overnight, members of the public are being advised not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
"A number of motorists are currently stranded in their vehicles on the M40 motorway, the A34 in Oxfordshire and on the A5 in Milton Keynes.
"Officers are working closely with partner agencies to arrange for roads to be ploughed to allow thoses stranded to be reached by emergency services.
"Many more roads are blocked and have been affected by snow."
Chief inspector Henry Parsons, of the joint operations unit for road policing, added: "The message to motorists is do not travel today unless it is absolutely necessary.
"Do not put your life and the lives of others at risk.
"Many of the roads in the Thames Valley have been blocked and, as temperatures plummet, will become extremely icy and dangerous.
"Keep up to date with the weather forecasts and advice over the next few days and ensure you can safely complete journeys and, when it is safe to drive, ensure you drive in accordance with the road conditions."
Meanwhile, Oxford Bus Company had announced all of its services were cancelled due to the treacherous conditions on the roads.
Due to unsafe road conditions, all services have been suspended until further notice. We hope to be back on the road as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Stagecoach Oxford also announced it had suspended all services.
As of 2.30pm some services had resumed including the city2, city5 and city6 buses but on a limited basis.
Oxford Tube services to and from London will remain suspended until 4am tomorrow the firm said.
Major roads across the county have also been hit by severe disruption with many abandoning their cars in the deluge.
The A34 between Milton and Chilton was shut for most of the morning as drivers gave up and left their cars in the road.
Part of the M40 through Oxfordshire was also closed with a number of broken down vehicles stuck in the snow.
Both roads have since re-opened.

Paul Wilson, the council's winter operations manager, said: "Gritting and snowploughing helps keep the main roads clear but as ever we would ask people to drive very carefully in these winter conditions.”
