Seems ludicrously high to me


In Penzance, over the last 22 years (1992-2013 inclusive), the

averages a-
Snow Fall 2.7 days
Snow Settled 1.3 days


There's more to Cornwall than Penzance, though. I should imagine
Penzance would be one of the less snowy parts (danglers aside). Maybe
the data is for somewhere further east and further inland?
