Topic: its snowing!

[ACE]

No snow, no hail, nothing but a bit of a nippy breeze, just a normal march day.

bright sunshine here this morning, but bitterly cold and due to cloud over later.

Quandary before work.  turn heaters off (or not).

As soon as the sun comes round the corner, the temp in the g/h will shoot up to 90c or so but will then drop like a stone as soon as the sun goes in.

Cook or freeze, that is the question !

Work just gets in the way, I wonder if i could call in and ask for time off to look after my babies ?   ;D

Its 3" deep here

One mini storm for ten minutes which I was caught digging in and one flurry later. ;D ;D ;D

I had exactly the same quandry this morning - decided to cover everything in polythene & turn heater off - lit it as soon as I got home but max/min thermometre showed it had been up to 20 at some point.

Snowed and hailed on and off all day yesterday - but didn't settle, however today it is coming down horizontally, the wind is incredible, couldn't even open front door, so decided not to go outdoors today! It's also very very cold, and I might have to run out to the shed to get more wood for the fire!  :(

just got home yesterday when the heavy hail hit, in work now and feel crap! Typical going away and get another cold!

Temp has not gone much over 2 degrees  :'(

Woke up to snow on the roof of the car.  Then a real snowy sleety downpour made the kids all excited before going to school.  Then, once they were safe in school, a sharp freezing hard downpour of rain.  A bright middle of the day and the roads actually dried out....but all afternoon it has been a mix of rain, sleet, snow and hail.  BBRR.  Home now, been cooking, daughters 8th birthday tomoz, so have made the house warm and smell nice whilst getting things prepared.  ;D

While you are all freezing over there on the north island, just remember today is  the vernal equinox and the first day of spring.

I thought at least one of you would have been jumping, clapping and shouting it from the rooftops.

Back to the weather, still have not seen a drop of snow but had a lovely thunderstorm yesterday with hailstones the size of marbles. Today I would describe as most pleasent  out of the wind.

[Mrs Ava]

According to my calender, the first day of Spring is tomorrow.  ???  Who cares, it is still blinking cold!  My guvna just delivered some turf for me to repair my lawn out the back....when will it be warm enough!!!!???? ;D

Bit funny, that? Just passed by to view Emma's post - lovely fine (brrrr) day here - and it's SNOWING again.

PS - Just realised why - I have garden help tomorrow!!

[cornykev]

Brass monkeys with them winds today, with hailstones and a quick flurry of snow about 4.00pm.   ;D ;D ;D

[MrsKP]

woke up to bright sunshine this morning, and a frozen birdbath!

don't want to even look at the state of the car yet!
