SNOW provided great fun for children when it blanketed Bordon on Friday.

It began to fall early in the evening last Thursday, allowing youngsters attending Tootsies Private Day Nursery in Forest Road the next day to look at their footprints in the snow, throw snowballs and make a snowman.

Nursery manager Kelly Gray said: “Today we were blessed with inches of snow here at Tootsies.

“Staff and children made it in safely for the day, and all the children and staff had lots of fun in the snow.

“Some of our pre-school children enjoyed helping to build the snowman, of which they are very proud.”

A second fall of snow, which started at around 4pm, caused traffic chaos on the former A325 in Whitehill & Bordon.

By 5.30pm a southbound articulated lorry had skidded into the kerb, and several cars attempting to pass it had to be pushed uphill when their wheels spun on patches of ice.

Police closed the Bordon junction from the A3 to stop vehicles going that way until the weather and road conditions had improved.
