In pictures: Snowy scenes across the UK
Cumbria's gritters were brought into action on Tuesday - among them the recently named Spready Mercury and Gritty Gritty Bang Bang . Roads and schools were closed across The County with drivers delayed on the A6 near The Village of Shap. Lorries and vans struggled in The Snow , with Highways England seen here pulling a van out of a ditch. But The Snow was not enough to put off The Driver of this three-wheeled Reliant car from venturing out in Shap. Further south, the countryside near Thwaite in North Yorkshire looked picture-perfect with its dusting of snow. There was also a snowy scene at Britain's highest pub, the Tan Hill Inn in the Yorkshire Dales . The 17Th Century pub, which is 1,732 feet (528m) above Sea Level , has been snowed in More Than 50 times. Appropriate clothing was required to walk in The Snow on Tan Hill. In the Peak District, A Man throws grit on to a road on Mam Tor , known as Shivering Mountain. BBC Weather Watcher Graham captured this image of The City of Stirling in central Scotland on Tuesday morning. The Snow failed to dampen spirits at The Up Helly Aa Viking Festival in Lerwick on the Shetland Islands . Originating in the 1880s, The Festival celebrates the islands' Norse heritage.
