Which of course is complete pants.

I can remember heavy snowfalls at Easter time, back in the 70's.


That'll be funny :lol:

Bit of sleet and heavy rain this afternoon and a chilly wind. Blowing a hell of gale now, but the wind is warmer.

Not a flake, though it's blowing too hard for it to snow anyway.  Perhaps tonight if the wind dies.

Yeap, that would make sense, I'm teaching tomorrow :roll:

Been marshaling at an RTV today. Heavy snow squalls with strong, cold winds. Just getting thawed out. Fell tops white.

typical,
Fit the new 245/70R16 A/T tyres. Brand new I hasten to add, goes to work and ones flat as a pancake, now Disco is outside house, 3 wheels + 1 axle stand till I get it pumped up again at kwikfit. It doesn't like air machines, think its off the beading.
Whats the bet It'll come down really hard tonight when Disco is crippled.

Drove back from the far side of lake Windermere this afternoon... Loads of the white stuff coming down right up until I got on to the M6, and then it was pretty much clear apart from the odd flurry here and there.

Very little in our part of SY though. So far :roll:
