It may have been a misty, frosty start to the day in some parts of the West Midlands but our BBC Weather Watchers mainly went with sunshine and signs of spring.

Read MoreA trial jury has been sworn in to hear inquests into the deaths of the IRA Birmingham pub bombings victims.
Two bombs planted by the IRA on 21 November 1974 ripped through the Mulberry Bush and Tavern in the Town pubs, killing 21 and injuring 182. A jury will return verdicts on how all the victims died.
Image source, Press AssociationFamilies (pictured above) associated with the Birmingham pub bombings gathered earlier ahead of the start of the inquests at Birmingham Civil Justice Centre.
The 11 jurors - six women and five men - were told by coroner Sir Peter Thornton QC that the inquests could last up to six weeks.
He said: "In a moment, 11 of you will be selected to sit on a jury looking into the deaths of 21 persons, following bomb explosions in two pubs in Birmingham in 1974."
He added: "You have a duty, as citizens, to sit in courts of this country on a jury when summonsed and it is an important civic duty."
Three reserve jurors have also been sworn.
A member of the public has launched "an unprovoked attack" on a rapid response vehicle which was waiting at traffic lights in Birmingham, West Midlands Ambulance Service has said.
It added that a paramedic was uninjured but "frustrated" at the "unashamed" attack.
The vehicle is now off the road "whilst repairs take place", the ambulance service added.

Birmingham City manager Garry Monk has described Che Adams scoring 21 Championship goals in a season as a "fantastic achievement".
Image source, Getty ImagesAdams was on the mark twice in the 2-2 draw with Blackburn on Saturday and is the first Blues player since Steve Claridge 24 years ago to reach 20 league goals in a campaign.
Monk said he "thoroughly deserves it".
Quote MessageYeah, we're all delighted with him. It's not been an easy ride for him. We all know at the start of the season he wasn't where he needed to be, but since that point at Leeds, that's the game that I point to as a turning point on the pitch, but off the pitch as well and everything is the reason why he's got that number of goals."

Wolves captain Conor Coady says there were "a few sloppy decisions", after the referee Roger East gave three penalties in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Image source, ReutersTwo of them were awarded to the hosts as Josh King scored for the home side, but he also missed a spot-kick, after a foul that was outside the box.
Raul Jimenez converted a penalty for Wolves, who had a further claim for a spot-kick waved away, after Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham misjudged a clearance and the ball bounced off his arm.
Quote MessageNo-one comes out and has a go at the referees. I'd never, ever do that, but I thought there was a few sloppy decisions... We get people having a pop at us when we've had a bad game and we make bad decisions and I didn't think the first one was a penalty."
