Sunday night’s first snowfall of the winter left a covering of several inches in Southborough.

It led to long delays for people stuck on slippery roads overnight, but there were splendid snowy scenes to enjoy on Monday on Southborough Common morning despite the cloudy skies.  A selection of what I saw is shown below.

No more significant snow appears to be currently forecast.  But the weather is set to stay cold for another week, with temperatures of  minus 4 overnight – and rising to only one or two degrees centigrade above freezing during the day. By next Sunday 18th December, much milder weather is predicted to return.
