Looks like it's going to snow tonight here on the forecast great.... got work in the morning. I didn't think there would be anymore snow showers after we past March.

Roof - lawns and cars had a dusting of snow this morning.

We went away in caravan in late 1980's to Stow on the Wold at Easter and I took my shotgun to do a clay shoot down there - Shot in a blizzard on the sunday.

Started snowing here Sunday evening and while it brightened up a bit yesterday its stuck around and continuing to pile up.

Left the sprinkler out like a numpty too :rolleyes:

Wow, first time ive seen snow in April. Had heavy snow showers here but didn't settle.

Had heavy snow here, heavy winds too so it was blowing about like the snowstorm out of The Thing.

arknor · 6 Apr 2021 at 22:17

had some pretty big hail stones earlier blasting the windows even though it was sunny.

Rroff · 6 Apr 2021 at 22:21

We've had heavy snow on and off throughout the day but it has quickly melted - it has been closer to hail than snow through really quite dense packed icy kind of "flakes".

They've been out gritting heavily as it has left the ground damp with -2C forecast overnight.

Was pretty darn cold yesterday colder than the weekend barely 3c yesterday evening and even dropped to 0c at one point someone even said they saw some snow! Not sure I believe it myself...

Flippin' gritter lorries are going nuts thats the second time in days I've been shot blasted theres not even any moisture to freeze on the road surface its so dry here everythings turning to dust and the summer hasn't even arrived yet. Crazy.

Rroff · 7 Apr 2021 at 18:42

We had ice overnight here - not substantial but enough to warrant the gritting.

It's like polystrene balls falling from the sky, it's so bizarre.

Same here for a bit earlier. Back to sunshine now. Bizzare.

Currently 8c and snowing here. Can winter just go away already?

Any meteorologists in the house? How far from/close to normal is this? :eek:

Rroff · 11 Apr 2021 at 16:36

Same here 8.5C and heavy snow showers - obviously nothing comes of it and tails off into rain after a few minutes before repeating again.

Uther · 11 Apr 2021 at 16:39

I quite like snow, but not in April. Some more warm weather would be nice.

Blackjack Davy · 11 Apr 2021 at 18:39

Rained a bit yesterday but not heavily and you wouldn't even notice today its so dry out there it basically stopped raining when march began

moon man · 15 Apr 2021 at 07:52

It's not winter now but beautiful days, cold nights planted Afew things but it's a risk we take in UK, lost 2 established palm trees to Frost last year.
Car frosted this am as usual and she's an old non turbo diesel, takes an age to warm up

I swear the weather knows when our Bank Holiday weekends are...

Here we are and it's already cool, with rain showers set in for the rest of the day and most of the weekend.
