Snow finally hit Britain yesterday - prompting Twitter users to joke about the coming apocalypse.

A light dusting of snow led to hundreds of tongue-in-cheek posts on Twitter about public transport grinding to a halt, with some users claiming they were stocking up on food.

Snow was first seen in northern Scotland and the Western Isles late last week - but it has crept down through the likes of County Durham and Cumbria towards Birmingham and then London today.
