[OBS] Romsey - Wednesday 23rd December 2009
Considerably late but here is the ob I compiled during
our thunderstorm of 2009, the only overhead storm this
year. All electrics, other than indoor lighting disconnected
due to close proximity of exterior flashing... lightning!
2cm covering of splodgy hail and snow, white stones up
to 6mm diameter. Ginormous puddles. Roads passable
but slick with white material.
