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.

Just below 0 here now, complete snow cover outside, The heaviest snow since
I moved back in '91.
The fall in temperature was rapid as
http://www.met-office.gov.uk/weather.../stmawgan.html also shows.

I expect the temperature to rise again once the wind returns.
