Your pictures of dogs, children and big kids enjoying the snow across Northampton

For many children, and their parents, waking up to see a couple of inches of snow is like all their Christmases coming at once.

Whether they like to build snowmen, or enjoy being whisked to school on a sledge, the white stuff can provide some very happy memories for little ones.

And after more than 12 hours of pretty much non-stop snow in Northampton from Wednesday March 8 to Thursday March 9, there was plenty of fun to be had, even if most of the kids did still have to go to school.

Chronicle & Echo asked readers to submit snow day pictures – and you did not disappoint.
