![]() ![]() Snow in SummerMonday 21st August 2000, West Yorkshire![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() THERE ARE TWO UNUSUAL-LOOKING Wagtails on the cricket square. They're duller than usual, with less white on their heads. Then I notice a Pied Wagtail nearby. I realise that these must be two young birds, out with a parent. ![]() On the television news there's film of the village of Heddon, near Hull, which gets six inches of soft hail. Rooves and pavements are white, children are out throwing snowballs in the middle of their summer holidays. After such a heavy downpour they soon have flooding. Equally unusual is a perfect tornado, caught on video, wheeling over Cleethorpes, on the south bank of the Humber. ![]() Any suggestions please? Related LinksThe Met.
