37 of your best pix of York in the first snow of the season

It was almost the perfect start to winter.

In fact the snow arrived the day before winter officially began. But the silent white stuff still did a very good job of making York even more festive.

Although there were some serious flurries, little settled. A light coating on the rooftops and the parks was enough to give a Christmas card feel across the city.

And you were out recorded the moment with these rather magical pix.
