| Insurers paid out £650m from 335,000 claims made as a result of damage caused by the wintry weather in the UK, figures show.
The biggest chunk of the payout was to motorists who damaged vehicles on the slippery roads, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) said.
January was the eighth coldest on record and the UK's worst since 1987.
The bad weather hit businesses and consumers with sectors including retail and the housing market suffering.
