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?

Well overdue IMHO :-( This morning's batch of so-called Early Warnings
are valid from the time of issue. That makes no sense to me.
