They're notoriously adept at complaining about the weather - but on Tuesday Brits had legitimate reason when London received a dusting of late spring snow.
Sizeable flurries were felt throughout the day in between thunderclaps, rain showers and bursts of sun.
Many who could not believe the icy flakes in the air took to Twitter to share their disbelief, sharing pictures of cricket grounds and slate grey skies.
The flurry has been dubbed 'Artic April' and 'Thundersnow' by UK press, with some saying the return of winter coincided nicely with the return of Season six of Game of Thrones.
