If confirmed that must surely be a record for Kent?

I recall Gordon Manley in "Climate and the British Scene" talking about
some very low minima being recorded in Kent when the sky cleared and the
wind fell light following a snowstorm in January, 1940. Found it! On
p117 of the 1962 edition he writes: "-6 was recorded at Bodiam in Sussex
and -4 in Kent (at Canterbury)". Those are Fahrenheit temperatures, of
course, so the Canterbury figure would equate to about -20C.
