The 'Beast from the East' is raging, with heavy snow and extreme weather warnings across the country - including a rarely issued red warning in Scotland, meaning 'risk to life'.

While bad weather on this scale should never be taken lightly, it's important to see the funny side now and again.

These tweets about the snow have forced us to crack a smile, even while wearing eight layers and standing waiting for a train that may never arrive.

Zoos and animal sanctuaries around the country were forced to close because of the bad weather, but some of the snow-loving residents still found reasons to be cheerful

Weather notice 28/2/18: The Zoo is currently closed due to heavy snow and ice, with more forecast on the way. We will continue to review the conditions ahead of tomorrow and post an update as soon as we are able. Please take care and check the conditions ahead of travelling. pic.twitter.com/3aSJFWE6v5

If you thought you could escape the snow by taking the train, then think again
