Brits are set to be hit with horrendous hail due to Arctic bursts disrupting the weather.
The usual warmer May days we're used to having been replaced with snow, hail, and heavy rain in parts of the UK.
The Met Office has said over the coming days the weather will be "giving with one hand and taking with the other", and the chilly conditions are not over yet.
Pubs, bars, and restaurants are not expected to open inside for 10 days until the next stage of the Government's Roadmap out of Lockdown – and Brits may get a bit wet in the meantime.
Skiers returned to the slopes in the Lake District for the first time since lockdown began due to the snowfall.
Snowfall is affecting places on higher ground over most parts of the country, but conditions closer to sea level aren't forecast to be much better in the next few days.
The mercury will rise slightly but wet and wild weather with strong gales are also expected to hit.
Nicola Maxey, Met Office spokesperson, said the weather will be "giving with one hand and taking with the other".

She added: "At the weekend we've got one of these low pressure systems coming in which pushes the high pressure out of the way and allows the temperatures to rise a bit but brings some wet and windy weather.
"It pushes in from the South West on Saturday morning and by Saturday evening it will have reached as far as the north of Scotland."
Although, London and the south east could see the best of the weather this weekend.
Highs of 20C in a 'mini-heatwave' could be on the cards but it may be disrupted with rainfall and wind.
Dartmoor could see up to 70mm of rain in just 24 hours on Saturday – almost 150% more than the average for May which usually sits at the 50mm mark.
Snow hasn't been taken away from the forecast either, with a band of snowy showers from Thursday to reach northern England.

Arctic bursts, with hail and thunder, are likely to continue into Friday.
The weather agency said most of the snowfall in northern parts of England was on higher ground and it did not settle in other places.
Residents saw some showers at lower levels, including Gateshead near Newcastle.
Although Brits are expecting warmer temperatures, snowfall is not entirely unusual for this time of year, Mx Maxey told Sky News.
