A very localised cold snap and snowfall produced this wintry scene on Christmas morning of 2007. It was so localised, in fact, that it only encompassed the fire station at Redhill Park and its curtilage. Elsewhere, the area was several degrees above freezing and engulfed in a horrid drizzle. Conspiracy theorists might have you believe that this was actually artificial snow, but I prefer to believe it was real snow.
