FREAK: SUMMER'S IN A WHIRL; 5-INCHES OF SNOW IN ENGLAND

While most of Britain basked in summer sunshine on Monday, one corner of England lived through four seasons rolled into one. The town of Hull shivered under 5ins of snow yesterday as freak storms brought a blast of winter in the middle of August!

Homes and businesses are mopping up after being hit by a freak storm which caused up to five inches of snow, hail, torrential rain, lightning and even a tornado.

The storm affected the area between York and Hull, flooding at least 60 properties, forcing businesses to close and disrupting rail services after York railway station was hit by lightning four times within a few minutes.

"It's one day in August we will soon never forget," said a local. "The churches are full tonight!"
