For me it has to be the Ottery St Mary storm.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1081758/Hailstorm-swamps-small-town-6ft-drifts--October.html
I lived nearby about 15 miles away. We spent the night with constant lightening so bright we didn't need to put the light on to calm my daughter
The following morning I set off for work (at the Met Office) and was listening to the local BBC news interviewing a farmer in Ottery St Mary saying he had 'snow' in his farmyard feet deep. I was confused as I was now about 3 miles away and no sign and this was October and not that cold. Went to go over the river and a guy was stopping everyone saying the bridge was flooded. Long alternative trip to work. When I got there I was gobsmacked at the data (see above)
I do remember the day before there was a huge wall cloud straight outside the Met Office and Mammatus cloud on the way home but this caught everyone by surprise

Just skirted North of me. Looks like you had a good shower in Aycliffe

Having lived out in the Middle East for a few years I can concur that it never gets below 40c in the 3 summer months.
I watch with interest to see if this year is likely to be a record setting year

From reports from friends down in the South West I would check if schools are open in the morning

Gilesgate (Durham), about 45 mins ago. Nice way to end the spell.
Ah, bit further North than me. Hope there's only sleet for my return journey. Been I while since driving in snow, although it's similar to driving in a sandstorm, just the temperature is different
-
Where's that NickR?
