Lytchett Minster: the A35 in sleet
Not ten minutes ago it was a sunny day a couple of miles south. Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all.
The reason for the surprising route of these tyre-marks, all changing lanes at the same point, is an incident that has just occurred out-of-shot to the left – see

Lytchett Minster: spin-off on the A35
Not ten minutes ago it was a sunny day a couple of miles south. Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all.
The sudden icy conditions seem to have caused a few incidents, as a number of ambulances and police cars were going around with blue lights flashing and sirens on. Here, someone has slid off the road and the police have just this second arrived.

Upton, Lady Wimborne Cottages
Near the southern end of Sea View Road. A pair from about 110 estate cottages built by Lady Wimborne and her daughter between 1867 and 1904. Cottages have relief brick numbers above the front door; confusingly, these are not street house numbers, but serial numbers. This pair is numbered 96 & 97, and dated 1895. http://archive.dorsetecho.co.uk/2000/11/6/109091.html

Lytchett Minster: footprints in the sleet
Not ten minutes ago it was a sunny day a couple of miles south. Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all.
Where cars came along here with the wheels running slightly off the course of previous ones, the spray coming from them was quite impressive and it was a good idea to give them as wide a berth as possible!
