I think a small low's developed. The N wind was gusting to 50mph 15
minutes
ago, now it's virtually calm. The wind actually went SE then E at
Newquay,
with the temperature 0 degrees at 15:00. Here heavy sleet & 2 degrees, so
I'm sure there must be snow at Stithians - MCC?

Yes, snowing here in Stithians and lying. Good 25mm on top of my car now.
Son is stuck on the A393 - taken him an hour to get from Redruth to
Ponsanooth - which can normally be done in about 10-15 minutes.

Snowing here now, settling, calm & 0.5 degrees. Must be in the centre of a
small low.

The only months when snow has only settled in Penzance in the last 15 years
a-
March '93
Feb '94
Dec '97
Jan '03
Feb '04
Feb '05

For snow to settle here in November is very rare.
