Snowtime Swindon! 

It's a snowy start to the year

 

Swindon woke up to the first snowfall of 2009 this morning - but it won't be lasting long say forecasters. Sunshine is expected this afternoon.

 

Motorists have been advised to take extreme care on the roads, however. Temperatures are set to drop below freezing again tonight, bringing with it the threat of black ice.
