Had to drive into the city during the worst of the snow, flakes the size of
dinner-plates(!) started falling after a brief period of rain. The temperature
dropped from ps02 to ms01 on the car thermometer during this time as the snow
became lighter and powdery. Now about 3 or 4 cm lying.
Basically the city has now ground to halt, nearly everywhere grid-locked, cars
facing the wrong way on roundabouts etc. SNAFU

As I was trying to teach the 3rd form about ski resorts in the Alps this
afternoon, whilst also looking out of the window logging snow events, I
thought I heard thunder in Coventry (widely reported elsewhere).
Did you hear any thunder?
Would appreciate confirmation that it wasn't a pupil moving his desk!!!!
