Two reports of wintry stuff since I came back to Lancaster University:

Friday 9 January: Heavy hailstone shower at 2am.

Sunday 11 January: Hailstone shower at 9am, sleety snow flurry at 1:30pm.

Getting exciting, as it's not supposed to be cold enough for snow at low levels yet!

Had loads of hail here, and some sleet. Just now there was a flash of lightning, and the flash was yellow coloured! Never seen that before!!!

[Tim B]

Very dark cloud approaching my area now, Can see fall sreaks of hail coming out of it and, Whoa there we go hail with light sleet starting to fall now, And theres a distinct feeling of electricity in the air here right now aswell, Thunder could well be imminent here :!:

Sleet here to, sleet is boring though.

Better than rain I guess

I caught in a a complete white out today (3 pm) in the north Yorkshire moors. Only just managed to make it over the tops with at least an inch of snow on the road, with near white out conditions! Absolutely brilliant!!!

[Paul]

Have been up near Leicester today, at around 5pm a very heavy shower moved in, temp dropped from 7c to 2c in the space of 10 mins, the shower turned to wet snow and there was a covering on cars etc which lasted around 30 mins...

Lancaster gets the first sighted wintry weather of the day! Doesn't happen very often! :lol:

Currently sleeting. The shower started off as drizzly rain about 20 minutes ago, with a temperature of 6C, but the temperature fell, and the rain turned to sleet and wet snow.

[Great Plum]

Well, on Sunday I was in Wales - about 8 miles south east of Lampeter and there were two very large hail storms and some thunder!

Frightened the dogs!

Been squally showers with hail and sleet here for most of the day, No snow sticking though, Though I suspect it will start to turn more and more wintery over the next few hours here.
