"Graham Easterling" wrote Cornwall & Devon have been singled out for
heavy snow warning. In fact on
the 12:55 forecast it said there would be 'further accumulations'. Well,
here in West Cornwall we have sunny spells and rain/hail showers, though
a
shower at 08:30 did briefly turn to wet snow.

The 13.25 BBC forecast had snow symbols all down the peninsular and
throughout Wales too. I don't recall any sleet symbols anywhere and there
were none for rain. I thought it was fairly unusual to have snow right
down to sea level during the day, down there.

Jon no offence but the info in those warnings are shockingly bad.
Central Southern England did not get any heavy snow or hail showers
overnight\this morning, and there won't be any 'continuing' or
'commencing' of 'Heavy snow showers' today, and we both know that.

Do we ?! Earlier data indicated the west of Dorset could be at risk
from some pretty hefty snow showers this afternoon and given the
radar echoes currently over central Wales it looks like there's still
a risk. We had a decent snow shower here not long ago, admittedly not
really flash material but indicative of the current instability.

What does puzzle me about the warnings is the singling out of certain
towns as well as regions/areas; as pointed out by Dave C. I'll
investigate this at the weekend.

moderate snow shower here 1310-1350Z started as graupel. Intermittent
snow since, became moderate and steady 1700Z and suddenly we have a
covering, also a lot of stiff water around.
Also the Met Office at last accept that Dorset is, by their own
definition, not in the West Country as warnings from Cardiff always
stated, but is in their version of Central Southern England.

Why are you getting so steamed up about the situation. I think it may
be because its going to "SNOW"

The words "bee" and "bonnet" snow spring to mind.

Cheer up Danny for heavens' sake, or get some other interests aside from
waiting for/complaining about lack of snow

Eventually reached 7.2 degrees in Penzance, rain/sleet shower outside now,
temperature down to around 4 degrees.

There has been no snow even on the west Cornwall Moors. Yet the 18:30
weather forecast still gives the impression we are suffering some sort of
severe weather. It may well get icy by dawn, but that's about it. The fact
is, the only time snow has settled at low levels in west Cornwall for 10
years has been on a strong easterly.
