Snowmageddon: The Beast From the East, Suffolk and London - 27th February 2018

It's a week of snow, as the "Beast from the East" - the weather feature formerly known as "winter" - sweeps in from the steppes of Siberia. There's even an official snow day, as the snow reaches a respectable 18cm and the school is closed. There's also a bit of excitement down at the station as the late-running 8:17 from Norwich piles on the emergency brakes and pulls up early because its Rheostatic brakes have temporarily failed due to the cold.
