75 minutes of moderate snow with fairly large flakes has produced no more
accumulation - temperature 0.8C but RH at 89%. Don't know how the snow
last night managed to accumulate on the roads at all!

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.


Estimate :-O

Don't people have rulers ?
All mine are *measured*.

Will.
