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).

I thought I had posted a reply, but I think I may have emailed it somewhere
instead.

I think the problem is that the MO have chosen a sub-region of SW England
called "Cornwall & Isles of Scilly", so any warning for any part of that
sub-region will have that title. I don't believe the intention was to
specifically include Scilly in the snow warning. This just my guess; how
anyone is supposed to know for sure, I don't know.

I believe an overhaul of the warning output is in progress?
