The Norfolk town of Great Yarmouth has escaped from the threat of flood tonight.
Whilst water levels on the River Yare were higher, the tide has passed off peacefully.
Throughout the day thousands of people were told to evacuate their homes because of the flood risk.
However flood defences seem to have held firm against one the biggest tidal surge to hit the east coast since 2013.
Police have defended the decision to ask people to leave their homes despite the fact that the storm surge did not cause serious flooding
Norfolk Police have thanked residents and volunteers across the coast tonight as the floods passed without any major incident.
For many of them, it was a little chillier than their native habitats, but that didn't stop these animals exploring today's snow.
