On Tuesday night 5th January and Wednesday 6th January 27cm of snow fell at Wellington College with further snow flurries throughout the week adding a few centimetres more.
At 07:35 on Thursday the temperature plummeted to -11.6C. Daytime temperatures have barely managed to get above freezing for a short time each day this week.
