Default METO Warnings - what are they thinking?

"Graham Easterling" wrote Cornwall & Devon have been singled out for
heavy snow warning. In fact on
the 12:55 forecast it said there would be 'further accumulations'. Well,
here in West Cornwall we have sunny spells and rain/hail showers, though

a
shower at 08:30 did briefly turn to wet snow.


The 13.25 BBC forecast had snow symbols all down the peninsular and
throughout Wales too. I don't recall any sleet symbols anywhere and there
were none for rain. I thought it was fairly unusual to have snow right
down to sea level during the day, down there.
