New maps revealing which areas had the deepest snow during Beast from the East 2 have been published by forecasters.
East Anglian experts Weatherquest used measurements collected by the public to determine where snow was deepest across the region.
Parts of Ipswich and inland areas such as Framlingham and Eye recorded up to 30cm while towns further north recorded lighter snow with depths up to 13cm.
Swathes of Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and western areas of the region also had depths of more than 20cm.
Earlier this week high winds swept in snow drifts, meaning that measurements in some areas have been estimated.
And as winds are picking up again today, drifts have sparked travel chaos across Suffolk - with bus and rail services badly affected.
