Yep if you look at the 6pm radar http://www.meto.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/r...adar/index.html , the small blob of red about 7 miles East of Manchester represented the Thunderstorm we had here :o very localised but brilliant while it lasted.
Not snowing here YET!, but we just had a Thundershower, with lightning and extremely strong gusts of wind, wet snow being blown horizontal, just a shame it wasn't really heavy snow, it would have been a whiteout for sure. The nights only just begun
Some heavy dark clouds passed a few miles south of Oldham, Manchester area probably got it, I'm quite high up so I can see in the direction of Manchester Airport and Jodrell Bank, and there was at least a downpour albeit only 5 mins worth I think.
Aw wow! - Great Pics, I'm as jealous as jealous can be It's hard to imagine it snowing up their in Scotland when it's so mild down here :cry: still I've had my fair share last week so can't grumble.
