Most places have seen up to 5cm of the white stuff but drifts have been much deeper causing travel disruption and blocked roads.

It led to a more than 350 full school closures, with delays on the roads and public transport routes changed.

And with the country in the third national lockdown, while people can't meet up with friends or travel to enjoy it, plenty have made the most of the weather from their doorstep, street or in the local park.

Plenty shared pictures of the white landscape outside their homes - some expressing surprise, despite forecasts, and others delighted to see it.
