Re: Front and Low, 9th - 12th May
Really nice looking front came over about 1pm(ish), heavy rain for a short period, sparatic hail, only small stuff. Bit of Cu over the port hills after the front, scrappy bases though. Nice anyway after spending last night going through old video footage/photos/charts etc from past Canterbury Thunderstorms! Got the blood boiling!

Nice photos there John, the front really had a nice look to it as it approached.
