Snow carpets Church Green in Witney
AFTER floods in November and picture-postcard frost in December, January brought snow to West Oxfordshire, followed by icy conditions after snow clouds lifted.
The cold snap is expected to continue for the rest of the week.
After snowfalls early on Monday and again later in the day in places, soon followed by a sharp frost, forecasters warned that temperatures across the district could plummet to -6C overnight, especially in upland areas, and struggle to climb much above freezing during the day.
