The overnight snow was already turning to slush when we went out at 9 am Sunday morning. Work continues in St Helen’s Churchyard. They dug so deep putting in ducts and pipes last week (under the path) that Oxford Archaelogywere on hand to check for remnants of antiquity.

A dozen or more trees near the Ock Valley have been chopped over the last week or two, some near the end of Hermitage Road, and others down the town end.

Evidence of dog walkers was to be seen everywhere in the snow. These paw prints and footprints were seen at the end of Healey Close where the estate meets the open space beside the River Ock.

This may, or may not, be the only snowfall this winter so some children were out making the most of it. There was just about enough snow left on the Caldecott Recreation Ground to make a smallish snowman.

Other places round about like Lodge Hill, Oxford, and Cumnor seem to have lots more snow than us in Abingdon.
