Hail ,Sleet and Snow on * the hill *

Bad cloud heading my way !

Getting nearer.

Its here !!!
A one hour visit ended in yet another drenching on Soil Hill this p.m.
I was in constant touch with DCB at his watchpoint and we could see the various shower clouds from Gt Whernside to Bradford centre. Small sharp showers kept hitting either Dave or me and then I saw the biggy coming across Bingley Moor in my direction. When it arrived I got rain,hail,sleet and snow dropped on me, lovely.
In amongst the showers Swifts were again moving but in lower numbers and much higher than yesterday.
See Daves vis mig site for his count and all day reports.
