Slipping And Sliding.

Slipping and sliding seem to have been the main activities in Silverton last night and this morning following the snowfall and the subsequent freeze. Hordes of would be sledgers gathered at Pigs Park yesterday afternoon to take advantage of the snow, but motorists and pedestrians risked life and limb last night and early this morning when ice became the main hazard. There was some further snowfall through the day but also a steady thaw, so those who had thought to get a second days sledging out of the weather situation seem to have been thwarted.

Never mind, forecasters are giving early warnings of the possibility of more heavy snow on thursday and friday. Perhaps better luck then.
