Brrr - temperature has fallen markedly since this morning - now in middle of sharp shower and it's blowing a gale here in Torbay, South Devon.

no lottie today as wind so strong i cant stand up properly. (maybe something to do with the wine last night).
seriously though, very windy, bright sunshine and blizzard snow and hail.
mix all this together at intervals through the day and it becomes really confusing!! ???

Thank goodness we had a good long day at the plot yesterday. had to go to the local patch to gather some broccolli. Was sure glad to get back indoors.Did manage to dry some washing though between showers of rain hail and snow.

Drove back from my mum's up the M11 a hour or so ago and could see the hail coming down miles ahead of me. When I hit Cambridge and was under the clouds, the wind really got up and blew the car about and it went eerily dark with the hail and sleet coming horizontally across the motorway. It was very strange for a few minutes as the traffic slowed right up and yet there was still blue sky in my rear view mirror but so dark where I was! By the time I got a few more miles up the road it was brilliant sunshine again and I could see people looking at my soaked car and headlights still on!! :o

Cloudy and a bit chilly in S Lincs right now. One very sharp snow/hail storm in Bedfordshire earlier-we had taken mum out for lunch and were taking her home when it hit-the temp dropped from 7C to 0C in a matter of moments

Hail in Hastings on the South Coast

And then, at 4pm, the second snow cloud came & went = 1/2" snow - just in time for the g/cs before they went back to London. We now have a large block of SNOW in our freezer for next w/e!

Just an odd snow shower here. Typical March weather, I don't know what the palaver was about.

Amazin · « **Reply #34 on:** March 18, 2007, 20:20:23 »

Blowy all through the night here - much the same today while we were - ahem! - fitting new fence panels...

Hail for lunch, then squally showers all afternoon - chill factor ten on my shiverometer!

I told my son I was going to fleece my delicates... but he said I should just put on an extra jumper...

;D

Cold....very...OH in the sitting room by open fire while I freeze to death in the outer environs trying to finish an essay..heating thermo turns off elsewhere when the fire's on. Ugh! Brrhhh...

Anyway, thanks for sharing my procrastination! No snow, but high winds and very chillly......here in Hants, heart in Cotswolds,

It's finally stopped blowing a gale here but it's steadily snowing and the gritter has been past our house several times today.

And there's me planning a midweek break to Cornwall on Tuesday - must take my ski suit! Can anyone enlighten me on the weather in North Cornwall please?

Best bit about today was finding a huge muck pile just up the road, lovely black gold, well over a year old and full of worms - and free for the taking. It was worth braving the blizzard for, several bags already stacked at home.
