Didn't think we was gonna get much, but after waiting half an hour after the first flash of lightening things improved. but gusty winds and heavy clouds showed that something was gonna happen. Big flash of lightening about 8.15pm then a long long long rumble of thunder followed a few seconds later. slow but steady thunder and lightening followed for the next half hour. Seemed like the lightening had to recharge the dynamo before setting off the next big flash Things stepped up a gear about 8.45 when lightening cobwebbed across the sky followed by a rumble of thunder that lasted for ages. You could practically plot its course through the sky. This seemed to set the pattern for the next half hour with the next flash of lightening happening before the last rumble had died away. Infrequent now and raining but not the downpour i was expecting. Has anyone noticed a slight pink or lilac tinge to the lightening??

And in Rothwell approx 3 miles away to the south east of Leeds we had a few rumbles of thunder very little lightening that i could see and some very heavy rain that didn't last that long. Was in pudsey on the west side of leeds just before 3pm and caught the edge of storm 1. Some real good long deep rumbles of thunder and some cloud to ground lightening. stopped very quickly. On the journey back to rothwell there seemed to have been a lot of rain from Armley to approx junction 4 of the M621 (those of you that know leeds will know where i am on about). Rothwell was dry until about 4.15pm when we got some large drops of rain which did turn into a bouncing heavy shower (which the kitten found totally facinating :unsure: ) Miss all the good stuff here

woke up to it snowing this morning (about 8am) and it laying on the grass. All gone now though. Just cloudy and windy now. shadowdragon south east leeds
