GALLERY: White Christmas in Abbey Fields, Kenilworth ten years on

With temperatures set to remain above 5C this week, and snow looking unlikely for this year, we have put together a gallery of images of Abbey Fields during the White Christmas of 2010

2010 saw a few instances of snow in the lead up to Christmas, with smatterings hitting Coventry, Warwick and Kenilworth in the last week of November. The first large snowfall came on the night of Monday, December 6, with residents waking up to a blanket of snow over Kenilworth on Tuesday 7.

Then on Saturday, December 18 2010 three inches of snow fell during the day, which the BBC weather forecast had not predicted. The snow settled and was added to on December 22 as up to five inches covered much of the town.

Such was the cold and the lack of sunshine, the snow did not begin to thaw until Christmas Eve, and it wasn't until the new year had begun that the ground was completely clear once again.

Images taken from across the month can be seen in the gallery at the top of the page and come courtesy of J Brightley and E Gammie via geograph.org.uk.
