Harsh Climate

Latest met office forecast: UK Outlook for Tuesday 6 Feb 2007 to Thursday 15 Feb 2007: Dry, cold and mostly sunny conditions at first with overnight frosts. A few wintry showers mainly affecting northern and eastern coastal areas. A change to unsettled conditions before the week-end as cloud and rain extends north and east to reach all parts of the UK. Ahead of the rain on Wednesday and Thursday, it is likely to remain cold enough for some local snowfalls at low levels from the Midlands northwards. Although the greatest risk of significant snow being on northern hills before it slower turns milder. The milder and unsettled conditions with significant rain at times continuing after the week-end with the potential of quite a wet and windy spell of weather towards the middle of the month.

Just had a hail shower with a few good flashes of lightning.
