Polystyrene now snow..... everywhere covered.....

[Had Worse]

Yep 3 rumbles of thunder and the first lightening I've seen this year.

That's a fair covering of hail and its still coming.

[WillinGlossop]

2-3cm hail/polystyrene/ snow..... really heavy....

Lightning is avoiding me again deliberately. It’s been to my east and north-east and now my south  but never to my immediate west. 

[itsnowjoke]

Anything on the radar incoming rain sleet etc

Lol that has happened before as well. Sometimes reverse psychology works too well. 

[WillinGlossop]

Just saw huge flash but long distant rumble 

[cheshire snow]

Heavy Hail shower turning everything white.

[itsnowjoke]

Heavy hail now lol

[SnowThunder]

Lots of rain and wind here, feels more stormy tonight than it did with storm freya, definitely not cold enough for snow though

[Miamay]

Stormy night here too

[jam2010]

wow what a crazy weather day.

sun,snow,hail stone, gusty winds, lightning.

just had a very intense hail storm turned everything white

[The Northern Ramper]

3 flashes of lightning getting closer 

[severe snowstorm]

Amazing hail storm here, thick covering on all surfaces. Lightning and thunder thrown in as well.

[dodge]

3 flashes of lightning here too, followed by rumbles of thunder....strong winds whipping up hail stone blizzards!...turned everything white just shame it's not large fluffy white flakes, that would have left a few inches.

[Frost HoIIow]

Amazing lightning & heavy hail/graupel leaving a thick covering! 

[damianslaw]

 A volatile day! A burst of very heavy snow late morning, but didn't last, thereafter wave after wave of heavy sleet and hail, leaving a covering at times brought on by very gusty winds - making it feel very cold indeed. Only limited bright spells. Haven't had any lightening or thunder though. Plenty more wintry showers expected overnight - whether we see any proper snow I'm doubtful.

The fells are cloaked white.

A stormy turbulent week ahead.

I'm sure the gusts are getting stronger, house is creaking

[Had Worse]

More lightning. Think its striking the Holme Moss TV transmitter near Holmefirth.
