Footage has emerged of heavy snow fall in Cumbria, UK.

The video, shot on Thursday afternoon, shows busses in disrupted traffic and sheep under a thick layer of snow.

"It's still lambing season in Cumbria & the iconic Herdwick's carried on as normal, but their young offspring tried to shelter as best they could from the harsh conditions," the filmer wrote online.

There was a heavy fall of snow in parts of Cumbria this afternoon temporarily closing the shuttle bus route over the broken A591 at Dunmail Raise. Passengers on the 555 shuttle bus started their journey in Grasmere, intending to reach Keswick, but were stopped at the top of the pass until the weather cleared.
