A picture which typifies Winter in Todmorden, but was actually taken 30/06/02. A steady heavy drizzle falling from leaden skies, this lasted for most of the day |
A band of heavy rain approaching from the SW. The large hill rapidly disappearing is called Inchfield Pasture. It rises to approximately 1,100 ASL and is about three miles away. If the moor becomes obscured by rain we generally have 5 - 10 minutes before the rain hits |

The picture is rubbish (The flash was left on). But this gives a good impression of the amount of rain falling. Taken during a thunderstorm which passed through Todmorden, one Friday evening in the Summer of 2002 |

Snow fell again on 02/02/03, this time the fall was mainly during the day and was the deepest of the Winter, where a maximum depth of 5cm was achieved. Both these pictures were taken at approx 16:35, just as the sun was setting

On 18/08/02 We we hit by a Thunderstorm travelling SW to NE. Before the storm arrived we were treated to a fine display of Crepuscular rays (see Other Phenomena for pics). This picture was taken just after I heard the first rumbles of thunder. Inchfield pasture is just getting wet. 15:23 |
15:28. The storm developed rapidly & the skies darkened considerably in the intervening time as this picture demonstrates. Both CC & CG lightning was observed, but missed by the camera :( |
16:31 Storm is now virtually overhead with rain now falling heavily. Picture above showing how turbulent the cloud was. There was evidence of rotation observed in the storm structure, but no tornadic activity. |
