In early February, Havant residents woke to the first snowfall of the year, as the top picture shows. Unfortunately for school children, it was too light a dusting for a snow day to be called, no doubt to the relief of parents saved the added burden of finding childcare at short notice.
There was a resumption of fairly heavy snow at around ten am, as the lower picture shows, but it didn’t settle, so traffic chaos was averted. But it’s a yearly reminder of the difficulties faced by older and less frail members of the community, so check on your neighbours and see if there’s any errands you can run that might save them from going out.
