That funnel cloud is absolutely stunning, amazing capture.
Snow (Winter 2011-2012):

05/12- A heavy snow shower earlier on in the morning, and then a very brief snow shower in the late morning. Lots of sleet too with hail also falling at times. There was no accumulation.
09/12- A shower that started as rain but turned to snow with decently sized flakes. The snow was moderate and did not settle, due to previous rain in the day.
31/01- Some extremely light snow (snizzle) fell in the late morning. There was no accumulation.
04/02- Frontal snowfall for around seven hours. The snow began at around 2pm and was very light until around 6pm, where it became heavier. By the end of the event there was an accumulation of 10cm.
09/02- Moderate freezing rain was followed by half an hour or so of light snow which gave a very slight covering. There was no measurable accumulation.
04/04- Frontal snowfall gave a good covering of 8cm or so on the grass, although it quickly melted.

Days of lying snow- 9 (05/02, 06/02, 07/02, 08/02, 09/02, 10/02, 11/02, 12/02, 04/04)

lo folks,
nice to know someones getting some interesting weather this year ^^

The partner and i had some free time this afternoon so decided to take our first 'storm chase'. There was a pretty heavy shower coming in on the radar so we went and got in it : ) saying that we sat in it as we jumped straight into a traffic jam lol

Radar pic shows our shower, pic 1 is of the approaching storm and pic 2 is from 'Ham Hill' overlooking South Somerset and our shower running off down the A303, fun times

cheers
