Snow covered trees at Newby Head, North Yorkshire
The UK shivered through a decidedly wintry spell on Thursday as sub-zero temperatures brought snow and ice to parts of the country.
Large parts of Scotland and areas of northern England, including Yorkshire and Cumbria, saw roads deserted and cars stranded amid the icy conditions.
Yet not everyone was put off by the conditions, with fell runners, hikers and dog walkers seen out on the snow-capped hills.
