  1. Been out on a date today - so only just got back... but what a random day for the weather!

    I looked outside at 10:00am and it was lightly raining, let the dog out for a tinkle and when she came back in the light rain turned heavier for about 5 minutes, then about 10:30am it switched to hail (that started really bucketing it down). After about 5-10 minutes of this, it started going lighter, so I thought excellent time to leave and walk down the town to the cashpoint. The second I leave the house, boom! The hail turns to light snow... then with every passing minute it got heavier and heavier - the flakes grew in size too (not going OTT here, but some of the flakes were HUGE! Easily 3-4cm+). At one point it was basically impossible to walk... the snow was coming down in vast quantities and also there were strong winds - so the snow was pretty much travelling horizontally and smashing you in the face (so you couldn't see). Suffice to say, with the slush from the hail and blizzard conditions earlier, I was soaked! Never in my life have I wanted to get into a (warm) pub as quick as I did today.

  2. Meh, this week looks pants in terms of snow - again, sadly. Sorry to seem negative, but that's the reality. There's more wet than white on the way this week.

    In all fairness, after yesterday's surprise, I'm very happy with the weather now - something different to just the wind and rain we've had plenty of. Posted Image

    Coldest temp for me last night was at 2:30am, 2.3c (1014mb // 2.2mph(W))

    Currently at 7.3°C (990mb // 16.8mph(W)

  3. Can I please be allowed to shoot the next person that mentions 'mini tornado'???? >< Damn local media cannot help themselves, they ought to report on the mini hail storm and mini floods and mini sunny periods too!

    Hey cyclonic happiness, brace yourself... three mentions of that term in this BBC News article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25902371 (Not this area mind, so slightly off-topic for this thread)
