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?


I have a chart of average number of days with snow falling on low
ground (0-200ft), the 5-day isopleth runs roughly N-S and divides the
county in two with a 7.5-day line just over the border in Devon (or
England, if you prefer). The chart is a little old, covering the period
1912-38(!), so may not match up too well with latest Met Office
sources.
