This week, temperatures plummeted from a balmy 15C in some areas a week ago to barely above freezing in the day. Some parts of the region, including here in Herefordshire saw some snow.
Despite the cold, the sun shone brightly at the end of the week, including here in Leek, Staffordshire.

We love to feature your photographs showing the beauty of the West Midlands and here are some of the best from the past week.
