Distant rumbles of T heard. Temp +0.8c Block paving in garden where
snow was cleared like an 'ice rink' from earlier freezing rain.

Very bright flash of lightning and near-simultanous loud clap of
thunder here at 1706z, followed by a heavy burst of rain; then very
heavy ice pellets and small hail 1718-20. Temp has now picked up to
+1°C.
