Several inches of snow has fallen in parts of Somerset, Wiltshire, South Gloucestershire and North Dorset.
Areas including Bath, Frome and Midsomer Norton and Radstock in the Mendips have been affected, with up to 6in (15cm) reported in places.
Wiltshire Police said several vehicles had become stuck in snow near Bradford-on-Avon.
Bath and North East Somerset (Banes) Council said it had been caught unaware because no snow was forecast.
Kelvin Packer from Banes said two teams had been sent out to clear and grit the roads.
"Unfortunately the snow came down immediately off the back of a band of rain and with everything being so wet it's just sat on the roads as slush.
"When its raining heavily we can't go out gritting because the salt just washes straight off the road and it normally takes us about three hours to salt 260 miles of road."
First Great Western said trains between Swindon and Gloucester have been replaced by buses because of flooding near Kemble.
Several bus services have been cancelled in Bath and Wells because of the snow, a spokesman for First Bristol said.
Flakes of snow were also reported to have fallen in parts of Gloucestershire. Areas of North Dorset including Sherborne were also affected.
There have also been light falls of snow on the hilltops of Dartmoor above Okehampton in Devon.
