Fun on the moor but most escape the snow
Samuel McCallien, aged two, makes the most of the snow up on the hills of Dartmoor, although the Westcountry managed to escape the worst of the big chill.
Sledges were out on high ground over Dartmoor but Devon and Cornwall avoided the travel disruption caused by heavy snow across parts of the rest of the country.

The Isles of Scilly was one of the nation's hot spots, reaching balmy temperatures of 9C yesterday while the rest of the country barely made it above freezing.
The Westcountry will generally remain dry over the coming few days with a continued risk of sharp overnight frosts and freezing fog. Some sunshine should develop through the days though, with light winds predicted.

“Miles, its not difficult mate.
Just because the temperatures are -11, doesn't guarantee snow.
Basic Met lessons for you dear chap.”
