Great squall just came though the mountains. Snow at first, then heavy hail, first minute coming in at 45 degrees from the left (N), next few minutes 45 degrees from the right (S), winds very high and chaotic during this period. Bright sun before, and after only lasted 5 minutes, the drop in temperature was large too, just checking the weather station but from the graph about 6c drop.

This might be of interest to some , a new storm chasing game being launched shortly. Don't know anything about it except what I've seen on Twitter and their Web Site and Reed Timmer seems to be endorsing or backing it.

This thread is almost a year old!

Saw a flash of lightning through the window in West Clare, no audible thunder to be heard though.
