There was a sharp dip in the temperature from around 8C to 3.8C this afternoon. This was accompanied by a shower consisting of a mixture of hail and snow pellets, the first precipitation even vaguely resembling snow since 2013.

The unusual part was the dip in temperature preceeded the shower, the temperature was tending to rise if anything during the shower itself. Land's End shows the temperature dip well http://www.landsendweather.info/

I notice that Newquay was reporting snow.

Got my eye on that shower line, it will be snow up here for sure.

Also, cracking photo of today's big sea http://www.sennen-cove.com/today2.htm . Proper big swell now, not just rough.

Heavy squally snow shower in progress. Big flakes. Started as a curtain of
hail sweeping off the moor. Very gusty winds. Temperature drop of +2.5C so
far. Now +1.9C and falling.
Ground turned white briefly. Exciting stuff!

Very gusty here as well. Gust of 56mph this afternoon in Penzance, stronger than anything last night. Not sustained enough to qualify as a gale, though it has been on the cliff tops much of the day.

Yes, it is quite an exciting spell of weather.
