WEATHER this week - Page 9

Everything outside under a foot of snow.  No snow forecast for tomorrow (Sunday), but snow forecast every day next week.  Fed up of it now, sun was shining this afternoon and it was STILL manging to snow.  HOW????

Hate to say it .................... STILL SNOWING HERE IN THE MIDS !!

Just thinking here out loud  - is this one of the WORST starts to a spring we have had ?? OR can you remember a year that was even worst

It snowed yesterday quite fat snow, then has snowed again overnight.. No gardening this weekend..

Have to say DD i cannot remember a spring like this ONE !

Apologies to bring BAD news !  according to the BBC weather i have just watched, it will be bitterly cold all week with outbreaks of snow  how much longer will this continue ?

When my family were teenagers we had an easter that waas snowy - 10-12 years ago - and they made an easter snow bunny holding abunch of daffodils

But even then I don't think it was such a prolonged cold

Thinking back , I can remember it snowing in April once but nothing like this.

I've also seen the forecast . Looks like we are in for a baltic Easter.

 YES ! Snowing again !! BIG Flakes as well !

wish it was cornflakes Verdun at least i could get outside ............. perhaps i'd take a bowl of milk with me as well

While its been snowing in Britain, it's raining on and off in Ireland ,I went down to my allotment

today and parts of it are under 4"of water .on the 17th I emptied a rain gauge and today it was

nearly full that's 3.5" .

Pootering around, bundled up to teddy bear proportions...found that the outdoor thermometer had given up and crashed..found on the ground 

...last reading 1 degree

Brought it indoors but...not change...  sigh

No more snow for us - yet, the skies are full of it, once the temperature drops when the sun goes down, the snow will start again.  Did a quick run to the local ASDA, now stocked up on bread, milk & cereals (all the tatties had gone already).  Meant to do the 'big shop' this week, but I don't know if they're bothering to send the vans out.  Came back the pretty way, good job we were in a land rover, up on some of the hills there are drifts upto 4ft, and the roads are treacherous as the snow is blowing from the drifts back onto the roads.

I will be without my car now whilst the snow is on the roads - at least I know my OH will be able to get to work and back (anything in his way will be nudged gently out of his way).  Meanwhile I dare not tear open any seed packets, even if things germinate, there is nowhere for them to go.

have none of you guys listened to your radio BBC4 ,its not good ,more snow forecast for the

whole of next week

Yes Derek, they have predicted a white EASTER, think i need some sun, thinking of popping to home 2 if this weather persist !!!

No snow at the moment, it's forecast heavy again tonight.  It is however, blowing a gale, and I'm glad I'm on the laptop, it's great for keeping my knees warm!  Now all I need to do is figure out how to keep my ears warm ....short of wearing my hat indoors not quite sure what to do.

Not looking forward to venturing out in the near-gale with the pushchair.  When people clear their drives why do they not think of other people on wheels - prams, wheelchairs, etc, round here there are lots of parallel mountains of snow where folks have just shovelled their drive clear without thinking what effect it has on pedestrians.  So now it's back to my high-vis jacket so I can walk down the middle of the road with a small boy and a pushchair and at least be seen.

Coming back from the supermarket yesterday was interesting, there were some bits of the A57 that were down to one lane, you'd think that at least they'd get a snowplough out for an A-Road?
