Default Wembury on a knife edge - 8 inches of snow

That is 8 inches snow equivalent, assuming wet snow, and boy was it
wet snow!
Never seen wet snow like it before. :-)
17.4 mm in my rain gauge 18-1800Z.

Devon is still on a knife edge, the knife is roughly following the A30
over Whiddon Down.
Snow to the north of this line.
Although some parts of high Dartmoor will not miss out. Surely Will
will not be deprived?
He'll let you know soon enough.

Big temperature contrast across the SW today. 9.7C in Penzance in
springlike sunshine. Even windblown Culdrose topped 9C. Up to around
7C on Bodmin Moor.

In this part of the UK Feb 2006 was colder than Feb 2010 so far.

Sharp showers now.
