More snow in Penzance now than on 6th/7th Feb. More than 2015, but not as much as 21st Jan 2013 (yet - but it's working on it!) A long way to go to match Jan & Dec 2010, but still a real novelty after the recent lean years.

Around 5cm has accumulated in an hour. Thunder reported across the Lizard. Temperature, which reached 0.8C earlier is now back down to -1.0C.

We keep losing the power, so this might get posted twice (or not at ll!)

Now basically a blizzard, not a word I've ever used before on USW to describe conditions in Penzance. It's gusting 30mph, the temperature's around -2C, and the snow is heavy. A good 10cm level snow in the garden, but 25cm deep in places. That convergence zone just isn't moving. Basically no snow north of Bodmin & Newquay. The heavy snow in Cornwall mainly, but not entirely, limited on the Lands End & Lizard peninsulas.

I'll probably post some photos later.

I suspect that it'll all turn to rain here later tomorrow, today is 'our' day.

Few pics from my garden taken a bit earlier. There's been a fair bit more snow since.
