The 18th of January saw heavy snowfall hit the southwest and Dursley had its fair share which prompted many to take the day off work and enjoy the surroundings. Many of those who did attempt the journey ended up abandoning their cars anyway. Due to the cold temperatures, the snow actually hung around for over a week.
