Leeds City Council have closed all of the sports pitches they run this weekend after the Beast from the East blanketed the city with snow.
The continuation of sub-zero temperatures and the remaining snow on the ground have been given as reasons for the closures.
A Council spokesperson said: “Due to the heavy snowfall this week and freezing conditions, all Leeds City Council sports pitches are closed this weekend.”
