Interesting site. I have a feeling that October is going to be much
wetter
though!

Any views on the coming winter Philip?

I only heard recently, that in 1987 the Eastern side of the
Isle-of-Sheppey
was completely cut off for six weeks. Everything was being air lifted in.
At both Warden Bay and Leysdown-on-Sea, the sea froze solid. I've even
seen a few old photo's, truly incredible...

I know that the shift staff at the Isle of Grain LNG storage plant were cut
off for some considerable time by the snow which was very impressive in its
depth. I think they had to fly essential provsions in for some time. I was
told this by the former plant manager a few years later.
