I saw the sky turning orange about 3.40 today and dashed up the local hill. I managed to catch some of it. The wind was quite strong and I had to hang on to the tripod- yes, even in these conditions I had the tripod up I saw the hail and snow getting closer and the penultimate photo shows that. I took the shot, rapidly put the gear in the bag and legged it but I was too far from the car not to get caught in it and I was in a blizzard of swirling hail and snow-amazing. We;re certainly experiencing extremes these days - good though . My sensor needs cleaning,it's smeared , I've tried to do it myself but to no avail, I'm losing good shots-some taken today at this location but I've posted one of each phase of the front as it hit. I'll have to take the camera to Bristol and have it professionally cleaned.

Nice series John, like the view in the first added to the cloud structure and red tinge, very nice.

Great set of photos John. You can sure tell the weather closed in fast! Good luck with the sensor cleaning.

Cheers,Conor. Had I got there a few minutes earlier there was more of the sky in the first photo, that colour.

You where in the rite place at the rite time for these John, beautiful images . The first one is excellent with the beefy cloud structure and colours. Like the road action shoots too with the car. Great to see everybody out documenting this severe cold spell .

Thanks all. Yes, we certainly have a good photo gallery and record here of all this weather,Martin. Mind you, the photos from NI are awesome.
