CORNWALL is waking up to icy conditions this morning after overnight temperatures plummeted following yesterday's snowfall.
Motorists were stranded on the A30 at Temple on Bodmin Moor and the A38 eastbound closed this morning near Bodmin following an accident involving a lorry.
The Jamaica Inn opened its doors for drivers and their passengers, converting the lower restaurant area into a dormitory with 15 beds, while one of the bedrooms had five strangers sharing.
Motorists began arriving at the Bodmin Moor pub in late afternoon yesterday and have continued to show up throughout the night.
Students at Callywith College in Bodmin also had to stay overnight at the site after being stranded by snow yesterday afternoon.
The A30 at Temple is now clearing and the majority of vehicles have left the area.
Hazardous driving conditions due to snow and many abandoned vehicles have also been reported on the A39 between A30 (Indian Queens, Fraddon) and A395 (Davidstow).
There is further snow and ice on A30 between A3047 (Camborne West, Camborne) and A388 Tavistock Road (Launceston).
