The forecasts were correct, and today has seen a return to the heavy snow that crippled West Kent last month.

Tesco Riverhead was absolutely full of people stocking up this morning, with fears that the snow could continue throughout the festive season.

London Road in Dunton Green had been gritted, please do tell us in the comments below whether your nearby roads have been cleared.

The snow is set to continue throughout Sunday and Monday, with freezing temperatures continuing next Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you have vulnerable outside pets, now is the time to bring them inside if you need to. The pet bedding shelves in Tesco were running low, so you may need to act now if you’re relying on supermarkets for pet supplies.

Last time our town was rather blind-sided by the arctic conditions, and already it seems that people have more grit, shovels and de-icer this time round. But if you do need help, or want to offer help to people cut off or struggling, please do post on the site here and let’s all do our best to help each other?
