Readers sent in their breathtaking pictures of the recent snowy weather throughout Stevenage and surrounding areas.

Despite lockdown restrictions, residents were still able to get outside and enjoy spending time in the snow.

On Saturday and Sunday there was a yellow weather warning for snow and ice for the third consecutive weekend. The snow continued into this week, although not as heavily as it had fallen in January.
