A beautiful blanket of snow covered the region overnight and gave amateur photographers the chance to make the most of the white stuff.
Temperatures dropped to below zero overnight with around 1cm of snow falling across Thetford and Brandon and the surrounding areas.

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