I've heard it said that the English summer is the most beautiful in the world.

Winter at last as arctic cold brings freezing fog and deep frost

These golfers were in no mood for dallying as an arctic frost took hold of their course.
The dedicated pair showed just how much they love their sport, braving subzero temperatures to play round a deserted course in Leeds yesterday.
February chill: Golfers brave subzero temperatures in Leeds, West Yorkshire yesterday
After weeks of fair weather, winter has finally set in, with freezing fog lifting to reveal an icy landscape across much of northern England.
The Vale of York in North Yorkshire experienced a particularly strong chill which encased trees and hedges in a perfect white frost.

Wintry scene: Two white swans glide up the River Wharfe at Tadcaster, North Yorkshire as the chill sets in
In Tadcaster, the River Wharfe was still navigable by swans, though all around it was brittle under a blanket of ice.
And in parts of Leeds and Sheffield, temperatures fell to as low as -3c.
Warmer weather is expected tomorrow, however, with a front bringing rain to many parts of the north-west by mid-morning.
