Tonight's BBC1 forecast - odd
Which I why I cannot understand how weather warnings for the SW have
consistently given a 60% chance of disruption on Scilly due to snow,
when the SST around the islands, which barely poke above sea level is
still close to 11C, and there own forecasts have shown minima in the
islands never lower than 6C.
It is a fundamental problem with the warning system in that the resolution
is too coarse. There could well be a significant chance of disruption over
the moors which then is applied to the whole of the SW.

Agreed, but why specifically include Scilly in the warnings?, it's not
part of Cornwall after all. It was quite a talking point here - with
people expecting not just snow on the Islands, bit a lot of it (as 60%
chance of disruption implies).
Minimum of 6.3C in Penzance last night, despite fairly clear skies at
times. Currently 7.4C, force 3-4 NW wind & sunny spells. I notice
there's plently of showers over the sea.
