On 25 November 2005 snow brought Cornwall to a stop.
I remember see photos of surfers coming out of the sea at Newquay and walking on to a snowy beach.
Took me 6 hours to get from Bodmin to St Austell (about 10 miles).
Sorry o/t

Not really off topic, because some of the current dismissal of charts which would otherwise be exciting seems to be based on nothing more than, "well it's November, and it never snows on low land in the South in November, does it?"
It certainly wasn't forecast in 2005, perhaps for that very reason. Though as that chart shows, it was only down in the deep West Country that everything JUST fell into place. Only a bit further north and east and the thicknesses would have been over 528 dam.
But the fact is, if you can build a snowman wearing a Yeovil Town scarf in November, then it shouldn't be discounted anywhere.
2 miles west of Taunton, 32 m asl, where "milder air moving in from the west" becomes SNOWMAGEDDON.
Well, two or three times a decade it does, anyway.
