Not as far as I'm aware, and I track stations on St Mary's & St.
Martins.

Night time temperatures haven't been exceptionally low in west
Cornwall. My record low (since 1991) was -6.1C last January. Last
night was the coldest of this spell (-4.1C). There were 4 colder
nights in January 1997.

Scilly needs a strong/gale easterly to get really cold, that just
hasn't happened, it's just been a drift off the sea, mainly N-NE.
