The culmination of a fortnight of severe weather, snowfall, frost and biting east winds was a blizzard during Wednesday night and Thursday morning, when an average of five or six inches of snow fell in local districts. The wind caused drifts in exposed parts, but no villages were cut off, although snowplough's were in use in various parts. All the bus services were operating yesterday morning, but on some routes the buses were running late. A road blockage at Wentbridge occurred and traffic was diverted. Some accidents were reported.
