Winton: Benmore and Castle Roads meet
Looking along Castle Road from the Benmore Road crossroads. The distinctive Mini, with its advert for the Red Bull drink shaped like a tin can, must live somewhere near here as it is a frequent sight. As far as I know, the car does not have wings.

Winton: snow in Benmore Road ? the sequel
Two days after the
Image had all finally melted, more of the white stuff came down today – surprisingly, since it had started rainy this morning. This picture was taken at 11:49am, by which time the snowfall had been going on for a couple of hours. By nightfall, the main carriageways of all the roads were clear of snow and ice, making this the severest snowfall I think I have ever seen that had started and almost disappeared all on the same day.

Winton: old fashioned lamppost in Benmore Road
Detail of this lamppost which is typical of many still in service in Bournemouth's suburbs, with the two 'handles' which would have supported the gasman's ladder in the days when there were gas lamps rather than electric bulbs installed.
Tonight, the ninth night of January and the ninth cold one, the lamp is illuminating a frosty cobweb.

Winton: heavy snowfall
This burst of snowfall was surprising, since it had started rainy this morning. This picture was taken at 11:49am, by which time the snowfall had been going on for a couple of hours. By nightfall, the main carriageways of all the roads were clear of snow and ice, making this the severest snowfall I think I have ever seen that had started and almost disappeared all on the same day.
Throughout the day, the BBC weather forecast suggested temperatures of about 2ºC and 'light rain'.

Winton: winter sun after snowfall
The sun comes over the houses on the south side of Strouden Road following fairly heavy overnight snow. It might have thawed the snow eventually but more fell midafternoon.
