After a max of 4.9C yesterday, the 2nd lowest max of the current cold
spell, it dropped to -1.0C overnight, then rose to around 2C during a
hail/snow pellet shower at 08:00.

This virtually melted, refroze as the shower cleared, mostly melted
again by 10:00, and has refrozen again to give some very icy
conditions. The temperature rose to 2.6C around 10:00, fell back to
around 1.C at 11:00. Now climbing again, but still only 1.9C and
11:30.

Particularly cold for Penzance, due to a complete lack of wind. Pz
heliport wind speed:- 0mph at 9:50, same at 10:20, 1mph at 10:50. Not
even a land breeze.

Some beautiful Cb out over the sea.

Penzance

Oh, I meant to add, the MetO currently shows 7C for Penzance at noon,
it looks like 3C will be nearer the mark. Difference probably due to
the lack of the predicted 5-10mph wind. Unusual for the temperature
discrepancy to be that way around.
