There has also been some thunder.

A30 gridlocked near the Chiverton Roundabout (Truro turn) cars
abandoned near Stithians. Reports of 10cm of fresh snow on the higher
parts of the Helston-Penzance road.

Very little snow now in Penzance, as it keeps turning to sleet, and is
now washing away the pre existing icy layer. The much higher dewpoint
causing quite a rapid thaw. However I've been up to Madron (1 mile
north of Penzance) to take some photos, and had to abandon the
journey. There's a very sudden change at about 100m. North of Madron
the road is virtually impassable, with 5cm of fresh snow on top of
sheet ice from Friday nights fall.

Good cover of snow down to the beaches on the north coast
