In a previous message I cannot now recover, you were querying snow depths on
the North Downs. I have today received a report from Challock which lies
between Ashford and Faversham. The report was for yesterday morning, 23
February 2005. A depth of five inches was reported by someone who lives
locally.

Lydden, East Kent:

At 17:25 today a BBC reporter Robert Hall was standing in continuous
moderate snow and reported "6 to 8 inches of lying snow" around him.
His report did not seem to be exaggerated or hyped-up.

The snowy background and his film report from earlier in the afternoon
is not inconsistent with that statement. He was out in the country at
17:25 but his film report from earlier showed a good deal of snow
lying in Lydden itself (40m amsl).

Correction, Lydden is 67m amsl. The reporter's 17:25 "live" broadcast
was probably done from from up in the nearby North Downs.
