100 cars & coaches are stuck in drifting snow near Jamaica Inn on Bodmin
Moor.


Police have called in army help including helicopters.

Meanwhile in Penzance it's 3 degrees, with gusts 40mph & driving rain &
sleet.

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?


Graham yep summats up. Pressure is falling like a stone here as well as the
temperature.
High cloud seems to be building too. Wind has dropped out and has now got a lot
of WSW in it.
-1.2 deg C and 992.7 hPa at 1635. Take care. This is a very volatile situation
weatherwise.

Cheers,

Will.
