The first snow of the year fell at the end of November and this was followed by more in December which was accompanied by very low temperatures. These two things combined put paid to many planned events in addition to temporarily halting the ongoing construction projects at Littlecombe and May Lane. The snow stayed on the ground until 27th December after which rain during the night and rising temperatures cleared it away. This month also saw the end of the successful Severn Railway Bridge exhibition at the Heritage Centre after which it was closed for redecoration. It's expected to be open again in February although someone will be in attendance on Saturdays during January to sell copies of the new Dursley Lantern 2010.
