SOUTH Cumbria was turned into a winter wonderland after a yellow weather warning was issued by the Met Office.

It was only last month when the county was thrown into chaos thanks to severe snowfall, though Tuesday's flurry was much calmer in comparison.

It gave residents the chance to enjoy the beauty of the weather, getting outside for cold walks as the Lake District was plunged into an icy beauty.

That did not mean that the emergency services and council officers had it easy with plenty of disruption having to be dealt with throughout the day.

Multiple bus routes were forced to be cancelled, particularly away from the main roads across Cumbria.

And - much to the delight of numerous children - several schools closed their doors as the conditions worsened.

One of the areas worst hit was Kendal town centre, with Cumbria Police warning commuters about 'difficult driving conditions'.

Towards Barrow, the scene might have been a bit calmer with the local neighbourhood policing team advising people to take care when out and about thanks to the footpaths growing icy.

The morning was the most disrupted, particularly when a collision was reported on the A591 at Troutbeck Bridge, which left the route closed in both directions.

If people could find the positives whilst trudging through the snow to get to work, then it was the area becoming more picturesque.

One snap of Ambleside's iconic Bridge House summed up how even the coldest of conditions can bring a bit of joy.
