Last updated 9th Feb 2021
Parts of Cornwall have woken up to a dusting of snow this morning (Tuesday 9th February).
It was just a light dusting to begin with but more flurries have fallen since.
The white stuff has been spotted in and around Camborne and as far west as St Just.
There have been light snow showers across Devon too, with some settling on Dartmoor.
BBC Weather says most areas could see flurries from mid-morning on Tuesday and some of those could turn heavier in the afternoon.
Those are likely to be mixed with sleet and hail as Storm Darcy hits the UK with freezing temperatures.
The east of the country looks set to be worst hit, with yellow and amber weather warnings issued by the Met Office.
No official warnings are in force for Cornwall but an amber alert for cold weather is out until Friday 12th February.
"There is a 95% probability of severe cold weather/icy conditions/heavy snow between 0900 on Monday 08 Feb and 1200 on Friday 12 Feb in parts of England. This weather could increase the health risks to vulnerable patients and disrupt the delivery of services. Please refer to the national Cold Weather Plan and your Trust's emergency plan for appropriate preventive action.
"This alert supersedes the alert issued at 09:02 on Friday 5th Feb. The cold spell is expected to continue this week, with outbreaks of snow across eastern and central England. Snow will be heaviest and most frequent across eastern parts on Monday and Tuesday, with accumulations continuing to build, but should gradually ease through Wednesday. Otherwise, it will be mostly dry and bright, but very cold with hard overnight frosts, particularly on Wednesday night. Later on Thursday and into Friday bands of rain, sleet and snow will probably begin to make their way into western and southwestern England bringing an increased possibility of disruptive snowfall here. Cold air will remain in central and eastern areas with frost and ice likely."
