Never seen anything like it. We were walking the dog on one of the occassions and the lightning looked "pink". Real scary as the thunder came straight after it. Weird as!!!

yeah I saw it too Shaun, first of all I though somebody was letting off fireworks closeby but then the almightiest rumble of thunder followed, it was weird to see and lit up the whole sky and the white snowy clouds.

Absolutely mad Lee
I was in the kitchen heading towards the door and the next minute, a massive blue flash followed by lots of "Anti lag"

I changed my mind about going out after that.
