As Britain wakes up to yet another day of snow and ice, courtesy of the Beast from the East and Storm Emma, many people have put on a brave face despite the sub-zero conditions.
Here, MailOnline has collected some of the best pictures sent in by our readers – from building igloos in back gardens and dogs frolicking in the snow, to brave swimmers daring to dip in ice-cold rivers and people struggling to get to work.
The Met Office has issued six separate weather warnings covering almost the entire country today – two amber for ‘be prepared’ and four yellow for ‘be aware’ – and further alerts are in place until the end of Monday night.
Hundreds of motorists were left stranded overnight as extreme weather continued to wreak havoc across Britain today – with forecasters warning the country ‘is not out of the woods yet’.
Strengthening winds caused blizzards and drifting snow in some parts of the country, bringing roads to a standstill and leaving commuters facing travel disruption for the fourth day in a row.
