If you had to scrape the snow off your car this morning or slip-slide your way into work over icy pavements spare a thought for these little critters.

Simon braved the freezing temperatures to grab these amazing shots of the squirrels as they frolicked in the snow, jumping into drifts and hunting for grub amongst the white stuff. Simon said: "They were just running around, burying nuts - they don't stop, even in winter.
