Meanwhile thousands of children across Warrington have taken advantage of the time off with the sledgers being out in force across the town – with many youngsters experiencing sledging properly for the first time.
Popular hot spots for sledging were Lymm Dam, land near Warrington Golf Club and the Dingle at Appleton.
The snowy conditions could be around for some time, with more snow forecast for Warrington on Monday after freezing conditions over the weekend.
