Yip, just in and got similar. I went out to a good location and waited for it to come in. There was so much mid level cloud around that I couldn't see much. Then, suddenly, the cold front/squall line appeared over the Sperrins with shocking speed with a pure evil shelf cloud on the leading edge. This was worth the trip. The shelf was pure black with a silvery-grey precip curtain behind with lumps of dark scud suspended in the air. There were some serious gusts from it which gave the trees a good shake and knocked my tripod over a few times. Under it was heavy rain and hail stones with a sudden drop in the temp. My fingers were soon red with the cold as if I had been throwing snow balls without gloves. No lightning which was surprising considering the appearance of the thing, but it was worth the effort to see that shelf. I have images and video, but if you don't like rain drops on images then you wont like these lol...it was crazy trying to take an image without the lens getting blasted!!. Anyway, good show and hopefully a taster for Fri.
Any images Stuart/Scott ?
