With all the posts about snow, I had to try and attract some
attention!

As far as Cornwall was concerned:-
Very wet, coastal gales, hail, but no snow.

Penzance 24 hours to 09:00
Max:- 9.1C (at 11:30 yesterday - The MetO had predicted 3C for Pz the
day before)
Min:- 5.5C (at 09:00 yesterday - last nights min 6.6C)
Rain:- 22.9mm - wettest day of the year.

Force 6-7 easterly by midnight, followed by a force 6-7 westerly in
the early hours.
(Gusts to 60mph at Culdrose). Some branches down.

So some interesting weather.

You're not alone in being snowless. Not even a flake fell. It started
raining yesterday evening and howled a hooley all night long. 10.8 mm
of rain fell on and off throughout the night. Big gusts last night
(don't have figures to hand) meant the usual fight out in the street
this morning ensued over whos wheelie bin/recycling box is whos.

Sky going very dark as I write.

Nick,

Just saw the news and it said (honest!) 'Trains to Paddington delayed
as they are coming from the south-west, the area worst affected by
snow' As you say, no snow, but some very strong winds which have been
totally ignored. Gusts 60mph in exposed spots down here

News coverage is governed by warnings rather than actual events. Last
night virtually no snow in Devon & Cornwall (apart from perhaps
Dartmoor/Exmoor) but some damaging winds, but too late to change the
reporting.

Swell now increasing considerably www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62107
and set to stay large for several days.

Beautiful wave yesterday (www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm)

Look quick, it'll disappear around noon - the picture that is!.
