 |  | It might be cold outside and we have to wrap-up warm to play outdoors, but it's lovely and warm indoors with the fire on.
Pupils from Berkswell Church of England School in Coventry and younger children from Warwick Nursery School have sent in their pictures of snow and Christmas events for our winter weather gallery.

Ben, age 7 from Berkswell Church of England School in Coventry has won the BBC Midlands Today weather gallery competition in December.
His drawing is pictured right and is also in the gallery.
Because the two schools sent in so many pictures, we have only been able to put up a selection this time.
However, if you return to the website over the next couple of weeks you can see the rest of the lovely pictures in a follow-up gallery.
All the children have worked very hard to make the lovely pictures and we thank them for their work.
