UK weather: the funniest tweets as the first snow of winter hits Britain

From the North Yorkshire moors to the suddenly not-so-sunny South Coast, snow has been falling in many parts of the UK over the past 48 hours. And people have been reacting with shock, delight – and plenty of humour.
Here are some of the funniest twitter reactions to snow on the streets (and fields) of Britain.
People were stunned to see snow settling as far south as the English Channel…

Though there’s always the risk some might get a little bit jittery at the first signs of snow:

Fortunately, people were on hand with calming words of wisdom:
Don’t panic people it’s not settling #snow

People of Great Britain the important thing is not to panic. There will be enough bread and milk for everyone. Snow is an ordinary phenomenon in winter.

Some saw this all as a bit of a challenge:

Others as an excuse to adopt a cosy siege mentality.
Looking out your window to see snow coming down, while you’re wrapped up warm in a dressing gown sipping on a cuppa tea is pretty blissful! #uksnow

Some were sadly feeling left out…
