Morning, all.

Ricky here with your top stories

this freezing Tuesday.

On the way.

Who's got snow and who hasn't?

The ninja skater

with a secret talent.

And just what is this unusual animal

caught on camera in the UK?

First up, did you wake up

to snow this morning?

Well, lots of you across the UK did,

although maybe not quite so much

as weather forecasts predicted.

Up to eight centimetres of the white

stuff fell in Northumberland.

Now that's got to be

enough for a snowman.

There was about a centimetre

of the white stuff in parts

of south east England.

Temperatures were pretty cold too.

In the Highlands it was as low

as minus 8.5 degrees.

In Northern Ireland,

south west England and East Anglia

it dropped to minus six!

Some schools are shut

so check before you set off.

And we want your snow videos.

Head to Newsround online to find out

how to send them on your phones.

Now the Winter Olympics may have

just finished but we only

have to wait 36 days

until the Commonwealth

Games in Australia.

Amongst the big names competing

on the Gold Coast for Team England,

are the Brownlee Brothers.

Both hoping for a medal

in the Triathlon.

Well, they came into Newsround HQ

for a chat and we decided to test

their Commonwealth knowledge.

Hi, Newsround.

I'm Alistair Brownlee.

And I'm Jonny Brownlee.

And we compete in triathlon.

I think it's earlier.

I think it's 1930.

We'll go for 1930.

I'd go for 63 for some reason.

I don't know.

OK, we'll go for 63.

Should've gone to the middle.

Should've listened to me.

Sailing.

Is shooting in?

No, it's not in Birmingham.

It's just been taken

out of Birmingham.

So sailing is not in?

Yeah, sailing.

Sailing.

I'm fairly confident

it's not Canada.

It's Australia or England.

And I reckon it's probably...

Australia cos swimming.

Yeah, but England normally come

top of the medal field.

Didn't they come top

of the medal field last time?

We have to go for the home crowd.

All right, we'll go

for England, yeah.

No, surely the Queen opens

the Commonwealth Games?

I'm sure Chris Hoy was there

at the ceremony but doesn't

the Queen say, "I declare these

Games open?"

I reckon she does.

The Queen.

That would have been embarrassing

to get that one wrong.

Yeah, we'll go for platform diving.

We went to watch that

in Glasgow, as well.

Yeah.

I don't think South Africa.

Well, South Africa weren't allowed

to be in any international sport.

It could have been

pre-apartheid, couldn't it?

Go South Africa.

It can't have been in Jamaica.

It hasn't been in Jamaica.

Really?

It's England.

It's Birmingham, isn't it?

It was supposed to be South Africa.

It just got moved.

Room for improvement there.

Room for improvement there.

Next, let's meet one nine year

old skateboarder who's come up

with a secret weapon to get

to the top in her sport.

There is lots of girls skateboarding

but there's just more boys.

I think when girls go to skate park

there's loads of boys there,

they might get intimidated

but you should not think that.

They will think you're really

cool cos you're starting

and that's a good thing.

Well said.

This supercool skater is Lola

and she's the only girl competing in

a local skateboarding competition.

To make sure she can pull off

best flicks and tricks,

Lola has a single weapon.

She's also a ballet dancer.

I don't know any skateboarders that

do ballet except for me.

It gets my legs strong

so I can pump really hard.

I've got a six-pack.

I like actually do.

Here she is competing in front

of the judges and it looks

like the pirouettes and pointy toes

are certainly helping.

It's results time.

Lola came in fourth beating

most of her rivals.

I think my ballet helps

because they said I looked

graceful and stylish.

So what would this twinkle-toed

daredevil like to see in future?

I wish they would be more girls

so we could join a gang.

I think girls should start doing it.

Well done, Lola. She's amazing,

isn't she?

Take a look at this rare white

stoat caught on camera

in a garden in North Yorkshire.

The tiny mammals are normally

a rusty brown colour but they can

shed their coats and replace them

with a special white

one when temperatures

are lower than average.

Perfect for this week

on the North Yorkshire Moors.

Thanks for watching.

We're back at 4.20pm this afternoon.

Wrap up warm.

Bye!
