Well, snow pellets actually.

After several days with similar temperatures, sunny periods & mainly
light winds
Min Max
15th 5.3 8.9
16th 4.4 8.3
17th 3.9 8.0

The wind really picked up (Force 4-5) last night. The temperature
dropped to 0.8C, but was back up to 3.0C by 09:00, with the wind
crossing the Penwith peninsula from the north coast, rather than the
really cold ENE direction.

Being off the sea, the wind has also brought a few very light snow
pellet showers. If the wind backs slightly more we could get some
heavy showers on the tip of Cornwall, but it doesn't look like that's
going to happen.

Fairly sunny day, but always more cloud (small/medium cumulus mainly)
just to the west. Recently one of these gave a very light snow flurry.
( www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html - half hearted
dangler?) Mainly cloud free just to the east.

Maximum temperature 4.7C making it easily the lowest max of the Autumn/
Winter, and the lowest max since 2nd Feb. This assumes it doesn't rise
overnight, which is possible as temperatures down here flutuate
considerably in conditions like this.

Apparently some heavier snow showers St Just/Sennen. Can Terry or John
confirm this?
