Well what a day of weather, this morning we had a bit of sunshine,
then strong winds gusting to 50mph + then some rain, then back to more
sunshine, now we have some very wet snow with flakes of over an inch,
settled on the glass but not on the ground.
What next?

At the other end of the Bay, dull, wet, windy with a small dose of
hail early this afternoon but with the odd sunny spell in between. Not
too cold and certainly no snow. But was speaking to someone about 5
miles east of me as the crow flies around 5ish this evening and they
had just had a short but extremely heavy hailstorm - their garden was
white and the drive was like a sheet of ice. The missus had left her
car on the road as the very sloping drive was too slippery to drive
up.

Surprising what difference a few miles can make.

Cheers, Jake
