Thunder and lightning and large hail here in Dudley at around 5pm. Storm
lasted for about half an hour and left a white over covering of large ice
pellets/hail. Lightning and thunder every 2 minutes or so. Lightning
detector said that the storm was 3 miles or less away. Since then light
snow showers on and off for about an hour has left a light covering of
about half a cm. Melting underway already.

There was an awesome hailstorm in Wolverhampton town centre. Many people
were visibly shocked and scared by the ferocity and thunder and lightning.
2-5cm of large soft hail (marble sized) on the ground for a time. Some cars
had around 10-15 cm of hail/snow on them, but I don't know exactly where
they had come from.
