Well that was fun, never experienced thundersnow before. One to tick off the list.

Gone very dark again so more hell is going to break loose I think

10-15mm hailstones on the ground, heavy snow for a while too. Ground is white.

I can see that from Newbury PB and it's a big bugger.

It is generally tracking west to east with the trailing edge along the M4 corridor, could spawn a funnel?

Interesting.

Wow just had some big flakes of snow mixed in with the rain! Nice little surprise :smilz38:

Feels very cold out and windy.

Current conditions Temperature: 4 °C Comfort Level: -1 °C Dew point: 2 °C Barometer: 990 millibars Humidity: 87% Wind: 32 km/h from 240° West-southwest

Would be interesting to see what thurs/fri brings. The meto keep downgrading the gusts for my location. I guess its a waiting game.

It's all up-in-the-air at the moment Marie with regards to track of the 'storm' late Thurs/early Friday, don' t think we'll know until tomorrow what exactly will happen and where wind, rain and even snow wise.

Though John may be able to shed some light with his experience!

[Marie]

Thanks guys ,will keep my eye open John for your post
