Luvachicken Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A lot of our snow has melted My walk to school this morning was very slippery but I didn't have to venture home because hubby was waiting for me in the car park. Beautiful sunshine this afternoon though, but still very chilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Well here I am in Hoddesdon! There is no snow here! There may have been but it was definitely bad in B'stoke when I went to pick the ladies up. We had another inch overnight at home. Saw 4 cars - one wrapped around a lamp post! But a good ride up and lots of sunshine. Pity we were indoors sewing, but a chilly wind, so that was OK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Sunny and much warmer ( relatively so!!) in South Oxfordshire. Just heard on the news though, it was 21 degrees in 1972! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Sunny sky, no wind and 9oC up here today. It actually feels like spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Incredible amounts of absolutely beautiful snow on the drive home from Bristol airport to Cornwall yesterday morning (shame about the 13 hour delay). Nothing at home though, just very cold. Cold again today but beautiful sunshine 🌞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Spring has definitely springdid! We saw 2 brimstone butterflies today and the bees have been buzzing around the flowers. I have a perennial wallflower that has never stopped flowering for 4 years - great bee and butterfly food and a huge bumblebee on my clematis - which is also in flower up high - I was looking for the bee and saw all the buds and flowers! A lovely day, frosty first, but clouded over this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It is much milder here now, and the hedgerows are staring to ping out. It's all about 2 weeks late this year. Don't know what to think about the promised freeze this weekend - is it just media hype? My phone app, which is usually very accurate, shows temps of 10 and 12deg at the weekend.

Valkyrie Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well we are back to rain for the morning and didn't clear up until mid-afternoon. On the brighter side OH still hasn't needed to water the turf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we had a load of logs delivered today, just in case. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 And the same as yesterday. Boring - we need a change. Coming home from vets (yes Squirt is wheezy again - Baytril all round) my dashboard showed up the ice marker. Seeing as it wasn't remotely icy weather, I thought that maybe there were hail showers around. Certainly had very dark clouds with visible precipitation (hah! edificated wordies! ). Although it's been quite iffy in the US with snow storms in the places that snow shouldn't be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Big hail storms here yesterday. Cold this morning with a frost. Good job that I was chopping and storing wood last Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 We had hail on Wednesday too. Today was horrid and wet. We had an archery shoot with Hot Cross Buns afterwards but it was cold and wet. Not pleasant at all. Weather warning for Monday. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Rain all day - very soggy - and it's still raining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Very, very soggy here too. The only small benefit is that I've found our clay soil is easy to weed - between the downpours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyTrish Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Most of the week we've had showers, until yesterday when it started with sun, then hail, rain, snow, sleet and back to rain all flippin' day. DH has been away since Wednesday cycling the Rob Roy Way with a friend from Coventry, so it's just been me and our girls ruling the roost . Actually, I don't why I put cos my fibromyalgia has flared up with the combination of the weather and having to do a bit more around the house. I can hardly walk due to stiffness and pain. Glad he comes home this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 What Mullethunter said! Ditto yesterday. Drove up to Daventry for surprise birthday party. As it was my Wonderful Madam Mim doubles as Miss Marple so she wasn't surprised at all! But she had a lovely fairy castle cake with a unicorn (don't know if she'll eat it ever) which was a surprise. Meanwhile passing Redwing's house I waved there and back but my goodness floods everywhere. There are fields along the M40 that are under water. This has to be the coldest and wettest month methinks for a long time. This summer had better be good or else . . . . I'll have a right old hissy fit.

Valkyrie Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Welllllll, it isn't raining here yet. A smidgeon of sun but mostly dull. Rather nippy too! Supposed to be rubbish tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Friday and yesterday weren’t as bad as forecast. I managed to get out in the veg garden for a good few hours both days around the rain. Was OK this morning but now it’s absolutely awful again. Cold, raining and windy and the rain’s forecast to last until tomorrow lunchtime. Have read a whole New Scientist and OH is doing a jigsaw. So bored we’d almost rather be at work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
