[WR] and photos - finally above freezing, Leysdown
 

After last night's low of -6.7C, temperatures have only just this minute
risen above freezing here, currently at 0.1C.

There's a light SW'ly and the past two hours have seen snow, heavy at times,
leave another inch to inch and a half on top of the already lying snow -
total depth five to five and a half inches.

I went out with my camera earlier:

Snow has ceased here just this minute - just light sleet now. Another
4cm have fallen here this morning, making a total of around 8cm now
(possibly a bit more). That takes the total accumulation over the past
two weeks to somewhere around 35-40cm; 8 days out of 10 of snow lying at
9am and 11 days out of 12 of snow falling.

....and currently 15-16cm of snow lying at the University of Kent campus
(2km NW and 60m higher elevation than here):

Obviously the temperature must've been just that little bit lower
yesterday to stop the snow that fell from melting as it did here.

Lectures are being cancelled all over the place :-/
