A light dusting of snow has landed in parts of the country and sent people into a state of hysteria.

The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for icy patches and snow covering swathes of the eastern coast of England and northern Scotland and for ice in western Wales, Cornwall and much of Northern Ireland.

Police forces across the country have also issued warnings for drivers to beware of icy roads.

Wintry showers will continue to affect much of Scotland and eastern England. Snow will accumulate in places (especially on hills) with an ice risk for many - stay #weatheraware pic.twitter.com/7RTclSLOZ2

People in London were among the first to spot the first flakes fall around 11am on Thursday and immediately took to Twitter to celebrate the news in typical fashion...

By overreacting

IT'S SNOWING IN LONDON. THE CITY IS HYSTERICAL. PANIC BUY MILK. PANIC BUY HUSKIES. PANIC BUY SNOW BOOZE. THE CITY IS DOOMED.

By worrying

Given what's going on in the world, can you just reassure me that that is in fact snow in London and not a nuclear winter?

Snow in London. The end of days is here. If you were planning to get home tonight, don’t bother, start burning your colleagues for warmth.

By being distracted

London before snow: "we shall not flinch in this fight against fascism"
London after snow: "OMG SNOW 🎄🎉🎅🎅❄❄❄❄❄"
