Well at least I got out for a walk around the park this morning.
Hail and lightning this afternoon 
All the seasons today with heavy snow falling right now. Donât know if itâll stick here but it will up on the moor.
Edit. Thawing fast.

First weâve actually had on the ground here for what seems like several years. I was dreaming of a white Easter but reckon itâll be gone by lunchtime.
Should I send a food parcel?

Just had an intense thunder shower blow through - rain so heavy at times it was blurring the view across the street, and itâs a very narrow street.
This is a screenshot of the real-time lightning map
Each white cross is a recent strike and the white discs are strikes during the most recent refreshes (one refresh a minute ?). Thatâs a lot of lightning.
The hollow ring in the conurbation towards the bottom left isnât lightning. Itâs the (real) Diamond Light Source particle accelerator.

Somehow managed to cram a 40 minute dog walk in-between two mini-typhoons this afty - WTF is up with the weather today? Hammering the rain down here still, and the windâs so strong the house is tangibly vibrating!
We have had Clear Skies, Torrential Rain, Thunder and Lightening and Chicken Nugget sized Hailstones today. And now, clear skies once again overnight ready for the inevitable rain tomorrow.

The wind was so strong, my golf umbrella âexplodedâ on my way to work.
It turned inward after a gust, and as I turned to invert it the umbrella critically disassembled, firing metal pieces like shrapnel into my head and arm. Scratched but otherwise unscathed.
Now I know what war feels like

Rain forecast all of next week and a hose pipe ban for the summer
Hosepipe ban will surely put the tin hat on it for Rishi. The water companies needed to use all the stored water to try to flush the sewage out of our rivers.
A clap of thunder and a sprinkling of rain here, must have been saving itself for @BobC .
