Whilst icy winds may have thrown much of the country into disarray, a blessing is that much of the population have had a chance to frolic in the snow.

Social media is full of posts with people's pets also doing the same now. Here are some of the internet's best examples.

In the war of dogs and cats versus snow it seems that dogs have come out on top.
