The first winter snow has now fallen for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. See it in pictures!

It was a cold and frosty start to the day this morning, with some waking up to a magical wintry landscape.

Snow showers have been persisting across Northern Scotland since Wednesday, with these slowly making their way southwards through the rest of the day.

Substantial amounts of snow has been reported at higher altitudes, with 15cm in Banffshire, in the Scottish Highlands. Even Edinburgh received a decent covering as snow showers intensified during the morning.

Snow showers also developed across parts of Ireland and Northern Ireland through the night, leaving just a dusting on the ground for now. Mountainous areas, such as Errigal in Country Donegal however, received slightly more of a covering.

Keep an eye on the forecast as the wintry showers later drift into Northern England, North Wales and perhaps parts of Central England too.

If you woke up to any snow please send us in your pictures via our dedicated uploader! We would love to see them. Stay warm!
