One year ago today Leeds was battered by heavy snow and high winds as the Beast from the East sunk its icy teeth into the city.
On March 1, 2018, Leeds was struck by the blizzard, which blanketed the city in deep snow, the likes of which hadn't been seen for years before. Here's our gallery, which quite frankly, makes us grateful we're not going through the same again right now:

It's a bad day for holidaymakers in the region as Leeds Bradford Airport was forced to cancel many flights. This picture shows why pretty well...
This Leeds resident braved the weather to nip out for essential supplies. We wonder if there was anything warm in those shopping bags?
The snow allowed many children to get outdoors and have fun in white stuff, just like this youngster...
Ploughs and gritters worked hard to clear routes around the city.
The high winds that accompanied the blizzard meant that snow drifted throughout the city.
