Cricket is prone to falling foul of inclement weather, but it seems spring in England has more than its share of snowstorms
Cricket in England: snow halts play!
A second XI county match in Leeds has been halted due to snow as parts of England shivered through a spring-time cold snap.
Play in the match between Yorkshire's second XI and Lancashire's second XI at Headingley was suspended at 4.20pm local time on Tuesday due to snow that covered the outfield of the famous old ground.
There was also snow further south in Birmingham on Tuesday but no cricket was affected there; the first division county clash between Warwickshire and Surrey had been completed the day before.
While snow in late April - more than halfway through spring - would be considered unusual by some, it's not the first time in recent years that the early-season county action has been halted due to snow.

It's a year to the day since matches in London, Durham and Birmingham were all delayed by snow or sleet, while images last April of some club cricketers in Yorkshire having a snowball fight instead of playing cricket also generated some headlines.
