CHILDREN in the St Albans district woke up to a heavy snowfall on Sunday morning.

Toboggans and trays - long since put away for next year - were dusted off as youngsters took to any hilly areas they could find to enjoy the fun.

Former Herts Advertiser chief photographer Dave Harris caught the magic of the snow in these photos.
