Despite Internet Journalist Matt Drudge's declaration that there was 5"
of snow in England yesterday, it didn't actually happen. He may have
broken the Lewinsky story but he's no meteorologist.
He says: "The town of Hull shivered under 5ins of snow yesterday as
freak storms
brought a blast of winter in the middle of August!"

The official article from the British Telegraph says:
"Five inches of hail fell in an hour at Hedon, east of Hull... the
Meteorological Office insisted that no snow - only hail - had fallen."
In addition, flooding and waterspouts were observed.
