Ambulance crews have attended at least a dozen incidents across the east of England this weekend.
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said although it was impossible to say exactly how many sledge-related 999 calls have been received it is understood from anecdotal evidence there have been more than a dozen across the region.
While none were believed to be life threatening and many injuries were minor some children and adults received broken limbs or head injuries requiring further treatment at hospital.
The spokesman added that people would enjoy the snow far more if they did so safely and without the risk of ending up in hospital with an injury.
She said: "People should ensure they are well wrapped up and always in control while sledging and wear safety gear as appropriate. The fun really isn't worth it if you wind up with a painful injury in A&E."
Meanwhile ITV Anglia filmed EEAST for its Sunday night news bulletin focusing on how "heroic" crews are battling through the snow to get to patients.
And as Communications Managerfor the Trust, Gary Sanderson was being interviewed TV crews got a live taste of the unique challenges presented by the snow when a car slid into a barrier on James Way in Stevenage.
The collision only resulted in minor injuries.
Gary said: "This was a really good opportunity to show the lengths our crews and managers go to so that people will get the help they need.
"Some of our staff have volunteered to come in on annual leave and that is just one example of how committed they are to patient care. It is thanks to the heroic efforts of them and our volunteers that we can provide a good service."
