Double your budget but might be worth looking at this - links to your phone or other mobile device https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GZQQ85V/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=90f3741f097d9f77bbae27330ed5bc0f&content-id=amzn1.sym.1d1fc9de-af63-45b7-b9a4-15664e2de42b%3Aamzn1.sym.1d1fc9de-af63-45b7-b9a4-15664e2de42b&hsa_cr_id=7716442620302&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=33e6a597-01fc-4c30-87e5-ee37434851c7&pd_rd_w=LjKwq&pd_rd_wg=f5VqQ&qid=1670929503&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img&sr=1-1-e0fa1fdd-d857-4087-adda-5bd576b25987

You never know. We are on the south western slope of the moor. At 200 metres we are certainly well placed than say folks in plymouth, but we are often on the margins of a decent snowfall. In these marginal set ups the snow line tends to be above 300 metres (only half a mile from me). We suffer in my location to the proximity of the tamar estuary, its a huge body of water and is only 5 miles away I'm sure it effects our DP and general tendency to get really cold. The fabled snow narnia village of princetown is but 5 miles up the road but its a hugely different climate to here. It sits at 500 m/asl and is often 3c colder at all times of the year (sometimes 6c difference to plymouth city centre) it certainly picks up its fair share of snow days. If the ppn is there in the next 24 hours they will be in business.

Nothing here yet! Mind you we are only at 200 metres. Met office app always over egg the snow risk. Its relatively mild today at 1.6c. DP about 0.5. If we are to get anything significant today I'd suggest it will a 300 m/asl event, certainly during the day. Radar is pretty bare at the moment for the moor.

Update on the snow tomorrow for Devon and Cornwall. Looks a bit wet rather than white tomorrow night for Cornwall with patchy snow for Devon certainly on the moors. But then Wednesday afternoon looks like a heavier period of snow for Cornwall. Usual caveats apply. Only one model and is just one possibility but a possibility all the same.

Met office ups the ante somewhat with the snow getting to Poole. HIgh parts of devon and east cornwall in line for 5 hours of light snow elsewhere rain. 4 different models with 4 different outcomes. Best bet stick your head out the window at 10pm tomorrow and see what is what EDIT: Arome model suggests brushing the cornish coast with rain and snow in land.
