Swedish capital Stockholm was blanketed in pure white as the first snow of the year fell on Thursday morning and the ground temperature fell below zero.
Sweden's weather agency SMHI said that up to five centimetres of snow could fall later in the day in several parts of southern Sweden.
The agency said that northern Sweden has already experienced snowfall with daytime temperatures dropping to minus 15 degrees Celsius.
Earlier this week, the agency warned that there could be traffic disruptions due to the snowfall, and it issued a class-two warning, the second most severe on its three scale warning system.
