Mid-March snow has blanketed parts of Britain as the country is battered by hurricane-force gales of up to 100mph and heavy rain a week before the start of spring.
People woke up to snow over high ground in Cumbria and North Yorkshire in England, and there were dustings in areas of mid-Wales, the Campsie Fells in Scotland and County Down in Northern Ireland.
Ploughs were clearing snow-covered roads in Cumbria, where a van slid off a road and cyclists were braving the cold and icy conditions near Hart Side.
Much of the UK was being lashed by gales that churned up huge waves and tossed around garden furniture and trampolines that weren't fixed to the ground.

Hurricane-force gales of 99mph were recorded at the Needles on Isle of Wight, 69mph on the Isle of Portland in Dorset and 65mph on Mumbles Head in Swansea, South Wales.
Huge waves battered coasts across the country, including Blackpool in Lancashire, Watchet in Somerset, and Portstewart in Northern Ireland.
The weekend was set to be a washout in many places, with more than half an inch of rain falling in parts of Lancashire, Derbyshire and Greater Manchester by midday.
More than 30 flood warnings and alerts were issued in England, as this month was on track to be the wettest March on record.
The warnings, meaning flooding is expected and immediate action is required, were for Keswick Campsite, the River Ouse at Naburn Lock, the River Ouse at York, and the River Burn from South Creake to Burnham Thorpe.
There were five flood alerts in North Wales.
Thunderstorms with lightning and hail were moving east across the UK on Saturday morning.
The Met Office said there would be sunny spells in many places but it will feel very cold in strong winds.
It said early rain and hill snow over parts of northern England and Scotland would clear to the east through the morning.
"Otherwise, another blustery day with a mixture of sunny spells and showers, heavy at times with hail in some places," the Met Office added in its forecast.
Showers in the early evening will gradually become confined to northern, western and central regions of the UK, with clear spells developing overnight.
Clear skies will bring another chilly night with a touch of frost.
Sunday will get off to a sunny start, but cloud and rain will sweet into north-western areas before spreading to other regions.
Southern parts of Britain will stay dry for most of the day.
But it will remain breezy.
In its five-day weather forecast, the Met Office said more rain is expected from Monday with sunny spells.
Things should become settled and winds should ease by Wednesday, but it will remain cold in the south-east in north.
Temperatures could plunge to as low as -5C in Scotland next week, with other regions close to zero.
March 20 is the official start of spring.
The Met Office said February was the wettest on record, and March was on track to set new rainfall records.
