Michael Owen's attempts to protect his sportscar from the elements backfired spectacularly when he woke to find it covered in a blanket of snow - and the tree sheltering it.
The former Liverpool and Manchester United striker parked his car - which appears to be a Bentley - under a tree, hoping to shelter it from the snow.
However, he was in danger of missing his train this morning when he woke to find it covered in the white stuff at 5.30am.
To make matters worse, a large part of the tree had also found a home on top of the vehicle.
Owen wrote on Twitter: "Not ideal at 5:30am when you’ve got a train to catch! Thought I was clever sheltering my car from the snow!"

The BT Sport pundit was busy on Sunday covering the Merseyside and Manchester derbies for the worldwide Premier League feed and admitted surprise at the result at Anfield, but conceded his other former team were well beaten at Old Trafford.
"Can’t believe how Liverpool didn’t take all three point but no arguments about the result in Manchester," Owen admitted. "City look different class."
