Brrr-illiant snowy pics from across the UK

It's been pretty chilly here in the UK over the last week, with many parts of the country experiencing snow, ice and freezing temperatures.

The extreme weather has caused some schools to close and fresh weather warnings for snow and ice have been issued for many areas across southern England, Wales, Northern Ireland and northern Scotland.

Temperatures in some parts of the UK are even expected to drop as low as -16 to -20C in some parts.

Let's take a look at some of the frosty scenes from around the UK, and you can send us your own snowy pics here...

If you get a bit stuck, a parent or guardian can send them in to us here.
