Jonathan, or anyone, do you have any information about
snowdepths over the East Kent Snowtrap (i.e. the North
Downs between Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone and
Ashford)? Someone told me that there was "about six
inches" this morning. That "about" worries me. If it was
the average of several measurements then fine, I'll
accept it, but if it was an estimate then I would divide by
two or three because people always grossly over-
estimate snow-depths.

Philip,

Here in Canterbury we got about 5cm generally (8m ASL). There wasn't any
more at the University campus (50m ASL). Can't say about the Downs,
unfortunately, but six inches seems somewhat of an overestimate.
