Well, after ther worst blizzard here since 1987 on 28th feb with no warning, another 5 to 10 cm of snow on the 1st March with a yellow warning, we are now 9 hours into an amber warning and it’s virtually cloudless, with the temp forecast to reach 4C in Penzance by noon, 7C warmer than at the same time on 1sr March. That will be 12 hours of amber warning with a minimal chance of significant snow, even by the MetO own forecasts.

We will see what happens later, but it’ll be nothing like the end of feb, 1st March

11:45 sunny, 5C, little wind, just back from a walk on the prom, where nearly all the benches are in use, and the tables set up outside the Lugger. Surfaces in the sun now warm to the touch.

On 1st March the temp was around -3.5 at this time, there was an easterly near gale, the sea was coming over the prom and forming huge icicles on the railings, snow was setting in again, virtually every road west of Penzance was blocked with drifts blown between the hedges overnight, and we finally got a yellow warning.
