People across Britain have braved the cold and headed outdoors to photograph the tons of snow and ice Storm Emma has unceremoniously dumped all over the country in the last two days.
Today the Met Office has put England under a red weather warning for snow for the first time ever, amid concerns that up to 1ft 8in could fall in the South West.
Storm Emma, rolling in from the Atlantic, will meet the Beast from the East’s chilly Russia air – causing further widespread snowfall and bitter temperatures after the mercury fell as low as -16C (3F) last night.
But many people are determined to make the best of the icy conditions and have taken to social media to share their photos of the newly frosted landscape.
From artistic sketches and snaps of delighted dogs bounding through the ice to one brave soul baring all for a photo op in his snowy back garden, here MailOnline has collected some of the very best pictures sent in by our readers.
