Storm Reports 19 / 3

[Tim B]

Big storm here this morning at about 05:00 - 06:00 AM.

Heavy rain with very high winds, I did not see any lightning though.

It felt like the back edge of a cold front.

Very strong winds.

[Tim]

I got woke up by the wind down here as well at about that time

[Ross B]

Very heavy rain/sleet/snow/hail showers here

[Andy Bown]

Tim B, I'm sure I had the cold front come through here between 1200-1300 like you had first thing.

Lashing rain and wind gusts of perhaps 60mph followed by a straight line of cloud and bright blue sky edging in now.

Squall line passed through here at 13:50-14:00 with some very strong gusts of wind up to 63MPH accomanpied by some very heavy rainfall indeed which reduced visability when driving down to virtually nothing.

[Robert H]

Very heavy hail shower just passing, I thought I heard thunder but I think it is they way the wind is blowing against my window :shock:

[rob-lancs]

Slept through that then Tim, got very very windy at about 10 past 9 this morning which is when I'd say the gusts were about 50mph

[roberthines]

heavy rain here and very windy today wind was prob 70 ish mph

[Thundery wintry showers]

Quite a climatic day in Lancaster.

The morning was very drab weather-wise, but the winds were very strong indeed- possibly up to 60mph.

The afternoon, though, was the main source of excitement, with hail, sleet and snow showers firing in. A large hailstorm from a pitch-black cumulonimbus practically flooded the University campus.
