Scottish Power engineers are battling to re-connect homes in Dumfries and Galloway who have been without electicity since Friday morning.
Local authorities are keeping community centres open to provide hot meals to those still cut off, but many farmers are still being hit badly by the cold weather.
Sheep farmer Willie Evans has been badly affected:
Members of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team, based in Cumbria, have been called out to five incidents over the past couple of days due to the snow.
This footage shows the team attending a call out to an elderly woman, however they were cut off at the junction of Corney Fell road, and had to make the rest of the journey on foot.
They climbed through massive snow drifts on the A595, and came across cars buried under the snow.
They stopped at every car to make sure there was nobody trapped inside, and fortunately all the cars were empty.
Watch the footage from team chairman John Bamforth, below:
Hundreds of farmers are struggling to care for their livestock in what is normally their busiest time of the year.
Many dairy farmers are having to pour away all of their milk, as tankers have been unable to access the farms.
Animal feed is also in short supply, as delivery drivers have been cut off from the farms.
However, the main concern is hundreds of pregnant sheep buried under the snow drifts.
– Richard Lochead, Rural Affairs Secretary"Many farmers will be worried about their livestock at this important time of the year for lambing, particularly the sheep and new born lambs that could be stranded due to the severe weather.
"I know the supply of feed and milk collections have been a particular concern and that is why I am pleased that a temporary relaxation on the enforcement of EU drivers' working hours has been agreed to ensure new deliveries can be made."

Power has been restored to thousands of homes in Dumfries and Galloway but 3,000 homes are yet to be reconnected. Power was lost in Garlieston, Port William, Sorbie, Whithorn and Drummore and Isle of Whithorn on Friday following heavy snow and high winds.
Scottish Power says 200 engineers are working to reconnect those areas. Dumfries and Galloway Council have supplied generators to some of the affected parts of the region and are working to get provisions into those places.
Many major routes in Dumfries and Galloway are now open following closures on Friday and Saturday but many minor routes are only passable with care. Police are still advising drivers to only go out if necessary.
