Although now creeping slowly back up, temperatures had plunged to as low as -5 last Friday as icy winds and snow brought freezing weather across West Berkshire.
It is January, so we shouldn’t be too surprised that it’s turned a bit chilly.

But even so, the cold snap was still a shock to the system!
Keen photographers across the district, including our very own Phil Cannings, took out their cameras to snap some wonderful winter scenes and we are pleased to showcase some of them here.
