The snow stayed through the night and today as temperatures remained below freezing. The fine snow gets blown with the wind and so there are pavements that are clear with a drift elsewhere. I was told that the road from Cumnor to Abingdon was impassable this morning because of snow blown from the fields onto the road.

There was more fine snow today. Being near old buildings such as the Long Alley Almshouses in Abingdon is a reminder of all the previous ages when there were no warm houses as an escape from the cold.

Throughout the day pathways have been made in the snow by cars

and by people. The weather forecast has it growing warmer by tomorrow.
