Snow began to fall over Sussex on Sunday, creating a picturesque scene for many, who were soon throwing snowballs and digging up their skis.
The snow also wreaked havoc on the roads, as cars and buses came to a standstill in many places.

Many people sent in photos of their pets enjoying the snow. Rachel Robertson, who lives in central Brighton, said her cat Luna was “desperate to get to the snow” when it fell on Sunday afternoon.
