NE wind - therefore snow in SE Kent. But the temp in the town is 1.9
degrees - no doubt a degree or two colder on the Downs but apparently not
sticking there either.

10m asl


Came back from Canterbury through Thorndon wood at 12:30 and all
surfaces were covered at Tyler Hill including the roads. Two cars had
gone straight off the road and into trees on the same bend. No snow
settling at Herne Bay or in Canterbury but about 50M higher and
drivers were caught out! A few metres make all the difference.
