Runnels got a bit of a top up. 

Stirm damage.

Just had a brief hail shower, back now to sunshine and blustery showers.  Lights still flickering occasionally and I seem to have acquired part of a neighbour's shed roof. I can see where its from, so I'll pop it in their garden later.

A few hail showers have blown through here on a strong westerly breeze temperatures not to bad at 9c but feeling cooler in that wind.

Certainly a wild and windy night last night with rain lashing against the window at times and a real contrast to the weather conditions over the past couple of weeks. We had a power outage this morning for a period of time which I understand was due to a power line having been brought down. A few squally showers today with hail mixed in.

Mostly dodged the showers today, some pretty lengthy sunny spells.  Keen wind which was at it's strongest in the early hours.  Radar pepping up out to the west, so I'm guessing the sunshine and showers ratio will favour the latter later on.

Not posted here in a while as been quite a boring few weeks weather wise.. getting slightly more interesting past few days , rain and wind last night was relentless here, Showing 80% snow (heavy) for early hours tomorrow  Although somehow I can't see it happening.  Hoping for some more spring like weather now after this spell if nothing else, last week was a nice taster .

Certainly a exciting night here with Buxton recording a peak gust of 61mph at dawn, having a western facing window meant I got little sleep with all the noise going on outside. Now the gales have died down a little the next excitement of the day is hearing the first clap of thunder coming from the New Mills/Hayfield direction with heavy hail-showers now beginning to move through.

[Frost HoIIow]

Certainly was a wild night and my bins got blown over. That's when you know it's blown a gale

[Had Worse]

Some very pokey showers springing up.

Lightning around your neck of the woods.

Well, I'm a bit jealous, day off work today and I've been anticipating hearing my first rumble of the year, alas not happened yet.  Went quite dark about 30 mins ago, but bright again now.  There's been some impressive cloudscapes today, been a good day for cloud watching.

Potent looking little cell between Glossop and Whaley B.  Skies are black far to my NE.  Noticed a line of convective clouds heading that way too, before it clouded over becoming grey and dark again.

[Had Worse]

Looks primed.

[Had Worse]

Some hail. Snow aswell.

That was a hail storm and a half... everywhere turned white... was making pizzas just popped them in oven... went on for ten minutes... maybe snow tonight

[cheshire snow]

A bit windy in south Cheshire this morning

I assume the cow is practicing jumping over the moon.

Did the little dog laugh to see such fun?

Did the dish run away with the spoon?

Hope it wasn't the main dish at Jodrell Bank if it was....

Winter returning to the fells, smattering if snow above 700m this afternoon. Expecting more appreciable snow over next couple of days, decent cover above about 600m, with temporary cover down to 400m. The last 4 weeks have brought little snow, compared to previous 6 or so.

[Ian David French]

I was caught out twice in a massive hail storm in Huddersfield, then went to Dewsbury on the train, and only 8 miles away, there was no sign of hail and it was bright and clear. I thought that was weird

[WillinGlossop]

2c heavy rain/sleet turned to largish snowflakes... very wet though... interesting  

[C11ady]

Snowing up Buxton.

[Had Worse]

First day back on the school run and how I haven't missed the heavy rain.

 

I got well and truly soaked.

[A Face like Thunder]

Me too, got caught out in a heavy shower at 7.30am and soaked by the time I arrived home. Ironic that there has been nothing since although showers seem likely at any time, given the cloud. Thankfully the wind has disappeared.

[WillinGlossop]

Clouds clearing the hills and the tops are all white with covering of snow

A view from Taylor St in Hollingworth.  I think your house is there as a pixel.
