Yesterday seemed to be a day of chaos on our roads due to the amount of snow which fell overnight and during the day. Our emergency services must have been stretched to the limit. It was therefore no surprise that many people were unable to make it to Civic Hall for the Wantage 999 Emergency Services Christmas Ball. This is an annual event which raises funds for local charities. We managed to make it through the snow to show support and enjoy the evening, though some of the entertainment had to be called off. Some of the emergency service teams were also dealing with real emergencies on the roads.
The snow this year was not unexpected having been accurately forecast by the Met Office, however we always still seem to be ill-prepared. However, maybe it will be a white Christmas after all this year....
