First decent Thunder for a while here this afternoon, numerous claps and
flashes all around - moderate hail code 5/6 giving a temp covering.

Also - Alston area, Cumbria - heavy hail shower then turned to snow giving
a covering above 1500ft. ( 1530hrs ) Further report of a huge hail storm
towards Garrigill, Alston depth on the road of over 2" causing several
minor accidents. ( 1600hrs )

Yesterday 5th April - initial Snow line was about 2,400 in other words the
tops of Crossfell, Great Dun Fell, (1100hrs) the snow that fell from the
shower fell down to approx 1700ft ( 1530hrs)

I.m not up there today, fells currently covered in cloud on my side, in
steady rain temp +5c, suggests snowfall again on the tops

Thanks for that Paul. MetO F215 is going for 1200-1500ft, but anything to
lie woud be a bit above that. A colder pool of air over us today so some
more fun and games with showers. Taking a trip from here to Cleveleys today,
A50 then M6 then M55, should be some nice views towards Lancashire.

Can't really say, as we were above it. It's all gone now, though.

This morning is a above 2000', about where it was yesterday. Only
hail/sleet at our level nothing hanging about.
