What a difference a day makes. The day after I took the photos of the Christmas tree it snowed. So today I took a couple of more photos for comparison. Apart from the snow can you spot the difference?
Also, due to the cold weather and more snow in the forecast, it has been decided that the Victorian Christmas Spectacular events will be held in the Methodist Church, Front Street. The only event in the square will be the lighting of the Christmas tree, by Santa, at 4.30pm.
New Year’s Day dawns with a 6″ cover of snow.
There are more images in the ‘snowy scenes’ photo gallery.
The long term forecast for January is for even more snow and freezing temperatures!
A Happy New Year to all our readers.

Tonight about 40 people turned out on a very cold but dry evening to sing carols next to the Christmas tree.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the singing, which was led by Martin Jackson, Vicar of St Cuthbert’s parish.
Following the heaviest snowfall of the winter – so far – I took my camera down to the village this morning.
I was too late to get a picture of Front street covered in 3″ of snow, as it had been at 7pm last night.
But the trees were still covered, including the village Christmas Tree.
There are more snowy scenes in the photo gallery.
