Wow, just been woken by insanely torrential rain here (Southampton), it's like a monsoon out there. Almost as exciting as the possible forthcoming snow!
And as I type, a deep booming rumble of thunder, WTF?! Wasn't expecting this.
Looks like we got lucky today, but tbh this year has been rubbish for storms down here. Nice surprise though, and a brief distraction in the never ending hunt for snow!
