Britain has changed into a winter wonderland as 9 inches of snow fell and temperatures dropped to -14C (7F).
Stunning pictures taken in cities from Liverpool to Aberdeen and rural areas of Cumbria, Derbyshire and County Durham have captured the whiteout situations as households went sledging in parks and constructed snowmen.
Other unbelievable footage snapped over the previous few days revealed snow-topped homes in Merseyside, deer within the Highlands, canines in coats going for a stroll in Northern Ireland and frozen fountains in London and Edinburgh.
The situations led to a whole lot of faculties closing at this time after what was the coldest January night time in 5 years and the chilliest of this winter thus far because the mercury plummeted to -14C (6.8F) at Dalwhinnie within the Highlands.
Up to 9.1in (23cm) of mendacity snow has constructed up at Lerwick within the Shetland Islands, whereas the Met Office has issued a collection of amber and yellow warnings – largely in northern England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
Freezing temperatures and snow will proceed this week due to the blast of Arctic air, earlier than ‘probably disruptive’ stormy climate this weekend when temperatures will rise to extra common ranges for the time of yr.
