Snow enveloped parts of Gloucestershire and temperatures struggled to get much above freezing last week as wintry weather hit the UK.

Winter worshippers took to social media to share the snowy scenes, and here are some of the best pictures.

Since then, The Met Office have issued a yellow alert for snow in Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

The warning indicates that there will be snow and ice, with some areas likely to see 10cm in places.

A spokesperson for The Met Office said: "A band of rain may arrive across Wales, northern and western England through the middle of Tuesday, then move eastwards through Tuesday afternoon and evening.

"The rain will turn quickly to snow on hills, then also to low levels in places.

"3 to 5cm of snow is likely above 200 metres."
