About 2:00 am a Severe Thunderstorn was issued as a storm rolled through my area. At 2:30 am a Tornado Warning was issued for my area. Then at 4:00 am another Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued.

These storms created a large amount of hail. So much, in fact, that it looked like snow.

Here are some images.

A lot of hail, isn't it.

Hi Daniel {up}

The weather has gone mad . . . . :P We had snow over Christmas for the first time in as long as I can remember.

We went to see the family in Watford (just north of London) on Boxing Day (26th) and arrived back on Thursday 29th to snow!

It really was like a "dickensian" Christmas card scene as we drove through the country lanes at night with all the trees covered in white.

I have posted a pic below for anyone who is interested - if you look carefully you can see some of my ducks in the background!

Happy New Year!

Yeah I know what you mean about the hail hurting. But nobody was outside when this stuff came down. No injuries. That's the most important thing.
