A snowy evening in Sleaford: for one night only!

A picture to prove it! Plus many more on Facebook. 




It all went slightly pear shaped in Sleaford on Boxing Day (evening). The forecast was rain probably turning to sleet by late evening: but it  suddenly turned to snow around 7.00pm. I hope the authorities were warned as the roads could have been slippery in places. The forecast charts show a return to changeable conditions by New Years day.

The kids were delighted: after wanting to stay put all day they suddenly wanted to go outside to play snowballs and sliding about. Whether or not it will still be there this time tomorrow remains to be seen.

Postnote: the forecast, apart from the amount of snow on low ground on 26th, turned out about right. By New Year's Eve the temperature had reached 6 or 7C and what was left of the snow - had vanished by New Year's day!!!
