Temperatures dropped to below zero overnight with around 1cm of snow falling across Thetford and Brandon and the surrounding areas.

People in Feltwell, Mundford, and Stanton all took the chance to get their cameras out and take some beautiful pictures.

Almost all the region was hit by the weather and freezing temperatures made the roads and pavements slippery despite the best efforts of Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils’ gritters.

Thanks to bright sunshine and a warmer day, much of the snow had melted by midday in built up areas.

It was the first time this year that the region had been hit by more wintery weather but the amount of snow which fell did not meet the fears of a repeat of last year’s Beast from the East.
