Snow had fallen at lunchtime but it was really only a light dusting of snowflakes and although it coated the ground in white, it didn't lasted long.
According to the Met Office, wintry showers were still possible in the afternoon and the forecast proved correct when a heavier spell of snow fell around 2.20pm.
This was thicker and lasted longer, so there was plenty of snow for the children to enjoy after school. Readers shared pictures of mini snowmen they made while they could.
