Snow news is good news for KentOnline

Extraordinary weather conditions in January resulted in more visitors than ever turning to local online news site KentOnline.

According to Kent Messenger Group, over 5 million page impressions were recorded using Nedstat software during the month, almost 1 million more than during the last period of extreme weather in February 2009. 5,171,562 page impressions were recorded.

370,622 unique users visited the site, over 80,000 more than in February 2009, in which 286,585 unique users were recorded.

KentOnline editor Sandra Hembery said the figures were a great reflection on the site's snow coverage. She said: "We gave our readers regular traffic, public transport and weather updates, and our school closures information was indispensable to parents.

"We were overwhelmed with readers' pictures, and we provided both audio and video coverage."
