It's been another cold morning in the West Midlands region and pictures by BBC Weather Watchers have captured beautiful moments.

From orange-hued sunrises to icicles and exploring dogs, people have braved the cold to escape into nature.

Freezing conditions have been felt across the UK as the coldest January night in 15 years was recorded in the early hours of Saturday.

Temperatures across the region are expected to range between 3C and -2C with freezing fog patches lingering, the Met Office said.

The Met Office encouraged drivers to plan routes and pack warm essentials, such as clothing and food, in vehicles before travelling, and take extra care when walking.
