Everything is shut, transport is at a minimum and the snow isn't going anywhere.
But that hasn't kept Bankie phones in their pockets as our readers caught the scenes from safely indoors and out in the drifts being true angels in the snow.
We put the call out to every corner of the area for your wintry photos and you responded in droves.
We've pulled together some of the best but always welcome more.
But remember - always stay safe and wrap up warm when out taking snaps.
