A storm arriving from Portugal, named Storm Emma by the Portuguese meteorologists, arrived as predicted over southern England on 1 March and brought with it Bournemouth's first significant snowfall for three years. We look across the junction of Leybourne Avenue (left-right) and Gillam Road (foreground) at 5:30pm - just dark enough for the lights to start coming on - after it has been snowing properly for a couple of hours; a light dusting preceded it midmorning.
