Snow in Ramsgate this morning

Picture should enlarge if you click on it or tap it.

I will do another blog post later today but I thought that I had better get this picture up before it melted.

The right type of snow

Looking out of the window this morning things looked pretty deep and crisp and even, I assumed that the county would have ground to a halt.

But as the local news unfolded, trains and busses running on time, the Kent schools website the children’s school up and educating or whatever they do.

I have to admit to being pretty much lost for words, the only thing I can think is that we must have had the right type of snow.

Snow Pictures Ramsgate and a ramble

For those of you who either can’t get out or are too sensible to venture out in the snow, here are a few pictures of the snow in Ramsgate this morning. All the ones on the camera card here in low resolution http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/laptop212/id3.htm

 I don’t think there are, haven’t seen any busses running today and other vehicles seem to be getting into difficulty, so I don’t recommend driving into Ramsgate at the moment. It is a case of once you have managed to drive down a hill you may not be able to drive back up it.

One for a bit of a laugh is http://www.google.com/ads/preferences this will tell you what google thinks you are, in terms of gender and age.


This thing also shows your interests and is used to send you appropriate advertising, it doesn’t change the amount of advertising you see online, just the content of the advertisements. 


If for instance you get ads for geek 2 geek “finally a dating site for geeks” you may wish to loosen up a bit as you surf the web as this advertising has been directed towards you because of the sites you have been visiting.    

I will endeavour to ramble on about this and that during the day, avoiding the words effected and affected, I am considering going on an adult literacy course to make up for missing my primary school education due to being disabled.

Kent County Council and the mystery of the missing grit

I have had written confirmation via my county councillor that KCC did in fact grit Ramsgate town centre including The Plains of Waterloo (the hill shown in the video on the Saturday morning when it snowed) twice on the 19th December the Saturday morning when it snowed.




This is news to me and everyone else I have spoken to in Ramsgate, sorry about the rather wonky sound track.

We are on the last day of our extended Christmas and New Year break, sorry I have been a bit behindhand posting and replying to comment on the posts here in the last few days, normal service will be resumed soon.
