The event is starting with rain into Cornwall but the MetO has taken
Cornwall out of its snow warning,

There's an advisory out for heavy snow in Cornwallhttp://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/sw_forecast_warnings.html

Jon.

There is indeed, but it's currently 5C in Penzance, having dipped to
around 4C briefly during a particularly heavy burst of rain, so I
think you'll need to be east of Bodmin to get any (apart from some
sleety stuff). The snow & ice melted extremely quickly overnight.

The wind is a real feature, briefly reached Force 10 at Sevenstones.
It's one of those days when the wind seems to decrease particularly
sharply just inland. 64mph recorded at near Land's End. Out at
Mousehole this morning I recorded 56mph at shoulder height with a hand
held anemometer, whilst my 10m roof top anemometer in Penzance has so
far peaked at 47mph. Seems to be dercreasing now. The direction of the
wind means there's lots of bits coming off trees which down here have
a distinct lean away from the normal SW direction.

Seriously big sea running now. http://www.minack.com/webcams.htm
