The first day of December heralds the start of winter for meteorologists and it certainly felt and looked like it across the UK.

After the coldest night since March with the temperature down to -9.4C in Cumbria, there was a widespread frost, ice and snow for some.

大象传媒 Weather Watchers took lots of pictures of the wintry scenes across the country.

Here are some beautiful pictures marking the first day of winter.
