Brigg residents woke up this morning to find there had been a light fall of snow - in October!
Very rare to get the white stuff this early in the year, and hopefully not an indicator of a bad winter ahead.
Having scraped the light accumulation of snow from ours car windscreens, some of us set off for the town centre and discovered long tailbacks of traffic.
There was a traffic jam stretching along Barnard Avenue beyond the Monument roundabout and as far along Bigby Road as the King's Avenue junction - this being the Saturday of the monthly farmers' market, of course, which always generates additional traffic along the A1084.
Coun Nigel Sherwood (Brigg and Wolds), Cabinet Member of Highways and Neighbourhoods at North Lincolnshire Council, is again overseeing the gritting of roads across the district.

Thanks to our friends at Redbrick for their TIMELY graphic reminding householders in Brigg that they need to put their clocks BACK one hour when they retire to bed tonight.
It was sleeting in Scawby at 11pm last night.....just as I was leaving the Sutton Arms after a meal - and a pint !
