AS snow and ice continue to hold Suffolk in the icy grip of winter, thousands of pictures have come in to The Evening Star's offices.

Readers have sent in some stunning images - when added to those taken by our own staff photographers, they make a compelling portfolio.

Thousands of images have arrived - many of which are now on The Evening Star's website gallerries - but we wanted to edit down a list so you can have five minutes of unadulterated Suffolk winter magic.

Tessa Oxlade, of our photographic department in Ipswich (who has made in the office on time every day during this snowy week!) has selected her favourites.

- Do enjoy the pictures - and send any more you may have to suffolkpicturedesk@archant.co.uk
