The January 1987 snowfall was a very heavy lake-effect type snow event that affected the areas of East Anglia, South-East England and London between 11 and 14 January and was the heaviest snowfall to fall in that part of the United Kingdom since the winter of 1981/82. Over 50 cm (20 inches) of snow fell in parts of Kent, Essex, London and Surrey, with the North Downs just east of Maidstone recording 75 cm (30 inches). During a walk our dog off lead, leapt and was buried in a snowdrift. Much to her disgust she had to be dragged out by the collar. Needless to say I didn't get to work in Maidstone for quite a few days. This was my adjoining neighbours front porch.
