[WR] More moderate snow in Kent

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. I have no measurements to speak of but driving around the area from Canterbury to Maidstone, down to Ashford, across to Folkstone and back up the Thanet Way to Herne Bay, the area that had significantly more snow than most was the Ashford area. Locally I wouldn't be surprised if there were depths of 5" around that area. Mark Chamberlain Herne Bay, Kent |

Don't know how the snow last night managed to accumulate on the roads at all!
