In pictures: Aftermath of UK snow
- Published
Snow and gales blasted the west coast of Scotland at the end of last week, damaging power lines and plunging 18,000 homes and businesses into darkness. The Isle of Arran in the Firth of Clyde suffered a complete blackout.
Power lines collapsed with the weight of the snow and engineers are still struggling to reconnect thousands of homes.
However, there have still been some rare sights of spring. This one, in Dumfries and Galloway, was captured by Rebecca Rumble.
This was the scene in Burnley, Lancashire. Forecasters say there will not be as much snow this week, but more of the same bitterly cold temperatures.
Northern Ireland is among the worst affected areas, with many rural routes impassable. Farmers have battled to keep livestock alive but sheep farmer James McHenry lost sheep and lambs when a shed collapsed with the weight of the snow.
And it not just remote rural areas that are facing treacherous conditions. This is a street in north Belfast.
Although the situation has improved in Wales, many roads remain closed. About 6,000 homes lost power and hundreds of schools were closed at the peak of the snow disruption on Friday.
The size of the snow drifts have astounded some people. Sandra Kaine, who lives just outside Hilderstone in Staffordshire, said some had reached 12ft.
