The ‘beast from the east’ winds will see some parts of the UK plummet to a frosty -11C, while sub-zero temperatures will prevail throughout.
This icy blast is due to a 4,000 mile wide plume of -15C air coming from northern Russia.
Snow even managed to form a frosty white blanket across the nation’s capital - which usually avoids extreme weather due to its warmer temperature.
But as ever, it’s our friends in the North of England and Scotland who will get the brunt of the bad weather, with parts of the Lakes now under inches of snow.
Commuters from across the country took to social media to express their joy and dismay at the snowfall this morning; keeping friends and family updated with their treacherous journeys to work.
Twitter user Andrew said: ‘Snowing in London. Looks very pretty. Will we get the usual travel chaos?’
Another joked at the over-the-top reaction of some Brits, writing: ‘Prepare for the Snowpocalypse! And for the Scandinavians and Canadians to shake their heads at the SNOW CHAOS.’
