Woke up to –8C this morning, then I had to cycle for 20 to get to the train station, it was very cold!!!!! But if I don`t cycle I don`t get my exercise, and I really woke up :o)
The hole thing came as a surprise yesterday, my oxalis were still out !! Got them inside yesterday afternoon as soon as I got home, good thing as everything out side is dead today. The cosmos were flowering beautifully this morning, but the cold got to them at last.
There has been problems with to much water as well (evacuations, and so on because of the storm)

Janet,
yes I agree with you we are about a day behind. But as long as the cold comes from your wonderful island it is ok. It gets really bad when it comes from east or south east (getting chills just thinking about it LOL)

Ahhh will remember that; never go to Iceland in april LOL
Don`t know what you would call that kind of storm, but it sound terribly cold.

Sigh…. photo of my tittle garden taken today, it looked so beautiful yesterday and this morning
