They'll be keeping their fingers crossed for a good Easter.

Meanwhile, back in Cornwall a reasonable day with just a couple of brief showers & sunny spells, good visibility and much calmer sea conditions - especially on the south coast. Swell down to 6-8' even out at Sevenstones.

Around Marazion piles of weed washed up after the 1st big sea of the winter.

I think 1989 was possibly worse? A dominant European high left Scotland very mild, a conveyor belt of rain off the Atlantic went on for weeks though I think the weather finally turned at the end of March around Easter. Many Alpine resorts were decimated that year, too, and I think it hastened the development of artificial snow-making.
