Snow sparked a flurry of activity in one Headingley household as the family created a giant igloo in their back garden.

The Pinder family spent five hours building the huge snow structure which has room for six.

Using ice cream boxes to make the bricks, the team of six worked until 2.30am yesterday to build the creation in the back garden of their home on Grosvenor Terrace.
Dad Joseph, 39, sons Joshua, 16, Jacob, 15, and Fifi, nine, pulled on their thermals to make the large, solid construction through the night.
And they had a helping hand from lodger Chris Walker, 17, who along with two rugby chums, came up with the idea.
The trio are players at the rugby academy at Prince Henry's Grammar School in Otley.
Mum Judith Pinder was on hand to provide mugs of steaming hot chocolate to keep the workers warm.
She told the YEP: "It was still snowing heavily at 9pm and we were about to go to bed when someone came up with the idea of building an igloo. Snowmen are very last year!
"It took until 2.30am. I was feeding them hot chocolate while they were building. It was very much a man thing although my daughter helped – it was a real military operation!"
