Possibly the one near Queen's Valley reservoir, the Guardian, I think.
The son tells me he saw lots of hail but no snow. It's incredible how
varied things can be in 9x5 miles! I hope you don't get any more!


She's home so I asked. The Hollies, Gorey village, and no, it wasn't hail
it was genuine snow and lying. Big soft flakes settling on the windscreen
not hailstones bouncing off it. As you say VERY localized


My son who is, quite truly, about 4 minutes from there by car, saw only
hail. We talk often, on urg, of differences in climate because of
distance but really, i do think the CIs might be one of the best
examples of that available to us. Certainly, I've gone from one half
of the island to the other and one is shrouded in fog and the other, in
full sunshine.
