PEOPLE across the Bradford district have been out enjoying playing in the heavy snow today (Friday).

Idle residents Jenna Clegg and her husband Adam were out with 19-month-old son Alex, their niece, Amelia, five, and the children's grandmother Debra Clegg at Idle Recreation Ground.

Adam and Amelia were on a mission to build a huge snowman, rolling the base which was the size of a hay bale.

"This is his first snow ever," said Jenna said of little Alex. "He just loves it.

"When he first saw the snow looking out the window this morning, he said 'all fall down'.

"Lovely, fluffy, white snow is my favourite kind.

"I love looking at it, but I'm terrified of it ever since I broke my leg sledging as a kid."

But, she said the family was keen to get out and enjoy it "because it's really nice when you have little ones".

Cllr Sabiya Khan (Lab, Wibsey) said: "It's great families are out enjoying the snow and sunshine.

"My grandchildren were having a lovely time this morning sledging and building a snowman.

"All of this snow is pretty exciting for them and other children.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

"I've also spoken with some residents about the footpaths and would like to ask walkers to stay safe and take care on the paths."
