left work today at 2 o'clock and it was horizontal sleety snow, as I was sat at the traffic lights in the car, some poor bugger on a dark blue fz6 Fazer pulled up beside me. He didn't look like he was particularly enjoying himself, bless him.
I left work at 5.30 yesterday, it was damp outside but very windy. A few minutes after heading off it started with the torrential rain, which to be honest i wasn't expecting, so with the added wind i felt like i was riding out at sea.
Then i see this massive flash of light but i was nearing a train bridge so at first i thought it was just the electrics but that followed by an almighty crack of thunder.
Seconds after that i start hearing a rattling noise then notice that the heavy rain, in the very cold temperature, has now decided to turn into hailstones.
After getting caught up in a still unexplained shit load of traffic, for the last part of my journey it started sleeting/snowing, until i get to my road when as per usual everything stops, and i resembled someone who'd just ridden through a very cold car wash just for fun.
Very strange weather, i've not seen it change so much like that in years.
