Just as we thought we were finally creeping our way out of winter, the UK has been hit by a deluge of snow.
For grown ups, the white stuff can cause a lot of disruption with work and travel, but for kids, it's always an exciting time, filled with snowball fights, sledging and snowmen.
However, it seems some grown ups are simply not willing to tolerate this sort of frivolity.

In Dudley, in the West Midlands, a young girl made the best of the wintry conditions by building her very own snowman.
The nine-year-old had hoped her icy creation would live as long a life as possible, and she was hoping to watch him all the way through to his final days. But sadly, his life was cut short by some mad b*****d.
The snowman was discovered collapsed on the front lawn, and initially the family had assumed he'd died of natural causes. However, when they checked their doorbell camera footage, they unearthed the dark truth.
The footage shows the snowman stood in the front garden, minding his own business, when a car pulls up on the street.
A man then crosses the road, walks on to the lawn and boots the innocent snowman, sending him toppling backwards.
The murderer then walks back to his car and drives off. Truly, a cold-blooded killer.
The family have no idea what his motive was, but the dad - who wished to remain anonymous - said the destruction of the snowman was most definitely 'not on'.
He said: "The wife had a doorbell alert, then we saw what had happened. We couldn't believe it.
"It is weird that it annoyed him so much he had to stop and pull over.
"I know it's only a snowman but to come up on to someone's garden, it's not on.
"It had started to lean over, the kids were looking forward to it melting."
A bit sinister that they were looking forward to him melting, but whatever.
That being said, they insisted the young girl who made the snowman had been left upset by its demise.
She also labelled the man's bizarre actions a 'mean and horrible' thing to do and said she wanted to find out who did it.
So, do you snow this man?
