Parts of Yorkshire had a blanket up to 5cm deep as chilling temperatures and flurries swept across most of the country.
London and Manchester received a light dusting overnight on Saturday with the Met Office stating the corridor of snow swept down from Scotland, through the Pennines and Cumbria, the Midlands and across the capital and West Sussex.

Forecasters said few places in the east of the country experienced temperatures above zero last night, with residents of Kinbrace in the Highlands contending with jaw-dropping lows of -11.8C.
A Met Office spokesman said: “It was a cold night Saturday and for a few places down towards the Pennines, central East Midlands and passing over the south and east of England, there has been some snow as well.
“You can almost cut the UK in half along the Pennines, with temperatures in the South West reaching up to 10C, 8C in Northern Ireland and between 6C and 7C in the west of Scotland.”

Tonight will see less snow fall across the country, with only Lincolnshire and Humberside expected to see any white coverage.
It didn’t take long for children of all ages to make their way out to Yorkshire’s parks, sledges in hand, to make the most of the conditions as our pictures here prove.
