Wintry weather is causing havoc in parts of the UK, after a blanket of snow settled in parts.
It may be March, but many schools have had to shut their doors because of snow and dangerous travelling conditions.
Scotland, Wales and parts of south-west England have been heavily hit by the adverse weather after temperatures plunged overnight.
The UK Health and Security Agency has issued a Level 3 Cold Weather Alert for the whole of England.
