9 photos of snow in Eastwood and Kimberley after Storm Goretti rolls in

The weather warnings were there – and Storm Goretti duly ensured a snowy start to 2026 for Eastwood and Kimberley.

The result was a picturesque scene but travel challenges for many with roads and rail affected and some council services affected.

But the snow also brought plenty of delight for some – especially youngsters.

Here are some of your snaps of the day the snow came.
