Oakham Sees First Snowfall of Winter 2024

Residents of Oakham and the surrounding areas woke up to a winter wonderland this morning as the town experienced its first snowfall of the season. The light dusting of snow, mixed with sleet at times, created picturesque scenes but also made for slippery road conditions, particularly early in the morning.

While the main roads were slightly slower than usual due to the inclement weather, buses continued to operate their regular routes. Fortunately, there were no major incidents reported throughout the morning rush hour.

However, a minor disruption occurred on the Teigh Road, heading towards Market Overton, when a tree fell, blocking one lane of traffic. 

As the day progressed, the snow began to melt, leaving behind a reminder of the winter season's arrival. While the snowfall may have caused some minor inconveniences, it brought a touch of magic to the town and provided a welcome change from the usual autumnal weather.

At the moment no further snow is forecasted. Tonight the temperature is set to fall to -2
