Your snow pictures

Thanks to those of you that have been answering our call for snow pictures: the photos have been coming in almost as thick and fast as the snow that's forecast for some parts of the UK today. The picture on the right of the frozen canal at Bingley in Yorkshire was sent by Kevin Wright. For the moment here in London, however, the pavements are dry and snow-free, but the Guardian's northern editor, Martin Wainwright, has had his fair share of snow: he marvels at southerners' inability to cope with a dusting of the white stuff in our weekly email, the Northerner.

There's still time to respond: email your images to newsblogpicture@gmail.com with your name and a brief explanation of where you took the photograph, and we'll add the best ones to the gallery we're putting together.

Here's a selection of some of your photos:

Trudi George sent us this picture of a fox in the snow taken in her parents' garden in Frindsbury, Rochester. The foxes must be particularly tame in Kent: or is the snow driving them to beg for food?

Here's another animal photo from Lucia Coello, who says she's fortunate to live a couple of minutes from pretty countryside in the south of Sheffield. This robin was snapped in her garden, eating food she had left out.

Jim, Susan and Alison write: "It's a winter wonderland here in Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. Looks like we're not going anywhere today; but with a cupboard full of Christmas food and drink we really don't mind!"

Alan Devine of Hastings sent this rather haunting picture of a snowy coastal scene.

Peter Hayes took this shot of York racecourse "wearing its winter clothes".

Dave Farrow of Norwich says "cabin fever" drove him to create this wonderful composite picture of a snowy street scene (if you happen to be local, North Park Avenue looking into Eaton Park) at 11am today.

Dennis Pennington illustrates how the phrase "severe weather" is a relative term, by sending a picture of the snow drifts at the back of his home in central Moscow. He writes: "Temperature minus 15 Celsius, bright sunshine. The snow will begin to thaw at the end of March at the earliest. An army of sweepers works constantly to keep the pathways clear and a huge fleet of tipper trucks and snow clearing machines work day and night to keep the traffic flowing."

And finally, I couldn't resist adding this picture of Ian Ryan's geese, Sage and Onion, who were bought as goslings back in June. He writes: "Their role was to keep the grass down in my garden throughout the summer. I was going to eat them for Xmas. As all my scoofing neighbours said, I couldn't do it. I intend to release them soon at a nearby lake where they can meet wild geese and hopefully go on to enjoy their lives. I can hardly believe that all their peers are now dead and eaten ..."
