Snow has been seen in Cornwall for a short time in Bodmin, St Austell and other places. A short time? Perhaps two or three minutes. I did not last long. There was not enough snow to make a snowman. I saw hail here but I did not see snow.

Here's a bit more of a lesson.

If we take the same adjectives that we used yesterday and combine them with feminine singular nouns you will  see mutation of the initial letter. 

b > v, c > g, d > dh, f > v, g > 0, gw > w, m > v, p > b, t > d

And also after the definite article,

the initial letter of the noun may mutate. 

berr > corden verr a short string > an gorden verr the short string

cabm > bôwnder gabm a crooked lane > an vôwnder gabm the crooked lane

coth > metêrnes goth an old queen > an vetêrnes goth the old queen
