Is Kent set for this? (library picture)

The snow threatening to target Kent has arrived!

Wintry showers have affected parts of the county today, with most failing to settle despite sub-zero temperatures.

Combined with the strong northeasterly winds, the temperatures will feel colder than the maximum 6C.

But the snow should be over by tonight, with the mercury plummeting to -1C later.

Those hoping to pack their scarves and hats away any time soon may be in for a shock - the bone-chilling cold is set to stay until at least the middle of the month.
