Wow -- what was the temperature at the time of the tornado?

I figured it would be too cold in winter for this kind of weather!

I would guess it was about 7 or 8 degrees C.

There was a thread recently about winter thunderstorms.

We've had T-storms in the Isle of Man this winter (including hail).
I've seen thundersnow in the south of England, too - so you do get some
convective activity this time of year.

I went flying yesterday. A break in the weather coincided with a
lull in my work so I took the afternoon off. Only got up for 35 mins,
but after a month and a half it felt good!

35 knot winds aloft, windshear that took my ASI from 65,knots to
80 knots and back again (with corresponding change in control
feel) several times on approach, but fairly calm near the ground,
so landing was fine.
