Appears Basingstoke was worst hit, total Choas.
The Missus sent here staff home at 2pm, but several hours later most had walked back to the office unable to get out of Basingstoke.
Ive had people sleeping here last night because they were unable to get home. The Missus is setting off for the office on foot but getting the car home may be difficult. Just heard Annies Dad has fallen during the night & we cant get to him, not good.
Thousands trapped in cars overnight due to snow and ice
Thousands of people have been trapped in their cars overnight after snow and ice brought roads to a standstill. In Basingstoke, 2,000 vehicles ground to a halt leaving about 3,000 people stranded, Hampshire Constabulary said.
Five emergency rest centres were set up in the Basingstoke area for those who could not get home.
Many spent the night in freezing conditions after roads in the counties became gridlocked on Monday afternoon.
South Central Ambulance, which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire, said there had been a 70% increase in calls.
There were also long delays on the M4, the M3 and the M40, to the north and west of London.
The president of the AA, Edmund King, said the organisation had had its busiest day on Monday in 10 years with its own patrols getting stuck.
He said: "Just trying to get out of Basingstoke onto the ring road was absolutely treacherous - it was like an ice rink. Cars were skidding all over the place.
"My car was skidding and colleagues now are still stuck in Basingstoke - stuck in the office there."
The majority of those stranded in the town were able to move on by 0230 GMT, police said, although some motorists were resting overnight in the rescue centres, set up by Hampshire County Council.
