Welcome to posting on here Flash

From up here - 5miles to the south of the city on a hill, it looks like thick fog over the city and extremely grey cloud - with heavy sleet.

And now, 5 mins later it's snow :blink:

20 minutes on - stopped now. Cars and grass covered - and up against walls, there's enough slush to make a snowball :blink:

Wahey! Hail and sleet here in Shetland this morning, woohoo!

:lol:

[Mondy]

Sleet this morning here approx 11am. Thick, wet stuff sticks to you. Was like a walking snowman at one point as the sleet turned more snow-like. Didn't last long, sun came out and proceeded to blind me...funny old day :lol:

Heavy squally showers with sleet mixed in on this side of the Forth at Kirkcaldy (not much above sea level). In between whiles sunny but windy. Air temp at 5C not too low but wind chill making it seem much colder. Begining to feel like winter.

Just driven home from Stornoway, road covered with large hailstones and lots od lightning and loud thunder,

strange that nothing showing much on the lightning detector, how strange ? maybe its not tuned for hebridean lightning !!
