for a while.
chilling north wind today bringing hail and very heavy rain. At least we had a brilliant run of fntastic weather for 3 or 4 weeks
no more warm sun ....
and the facts for Northern Ireland are
sunniest March since '61 averaging 5.2 hours a day.
driest March since '73
the temperature, which I dont agree with, was an average of 6.7 = 1.5 above the average BUT I had days on end of 14C with a max of 17C. I knew I should have taken notes in my diary
http://www.metoffice.com/corporate/pressoffice/pr20030331.html here is a breakdown for the whole country
The rain reached my part of Kent about half an hour ago (12.30ish)
No hail :) .............yet at least
Yes, shame you didn't note all the unseasonal weather - but there are only so many hours in a day lol
it would have taken seconds to make a note every day after work. there's always 40 years time.
........discipline! Never have mastered that one.......
lets hope so lol
Not mastered the spelling of it either LOL

well, it was miserrable here, but no rain to speak of, just a few little dribbles. O.K. if it's going to be overcast ,at least let it tip down with rain, I had to get out and water wityh the hose the other day ,as a lot of things were wilting.
The biggest thing I hate at this time of year is the blossom on the trees. I can guarentee without fai that when ever the cherry trees in our road break out in blossom, as they have just done, the wind comes along and blows it all off again.I was watching out of the window this morning,and loads of pink petals were flying everywhere.
Such is life!....
Extremly windy here this afternoon. Rain started at 4.30. I was out gardening - tidying up lawn edges. Had to come in. Sigh.
oh yes, exactly same in here.......just thought that where the spring lost?......it is strange.....one day I see papaver starts...and next week....I see snow every where.........I´m sure that neighbors tulips are under snow too....
I haven`t never liked word "back winter".......now I really know what that means.......I thought that tomorrow I go search coltsfoots...but maybe not..
We have the north wind too, so despite the sunshine it's cold :(
Oh well, can't last for ever and it is only the beginning of april. Hope your snow doesn't last too long!
great! very sunny day today....and the snow has melted nicely........warm!
Warmer here today too :)
we have clear blue skies here. the high pressure system is back.
About half of the snow melted today, we had clear blue sky, but now it is cloudy again. No more snow on the snowdrops :}
oh boys. that snow which melted...came back tonight.
We got it back ten five times.. looks really like January now, hate this!!! This week is from h***
the sun is back big time here today. 18C/65F
Only just made 12C here :(
Cold wind still, but it was pleasant in sheltered spots - not that I got out there much. Never mind, I shall be out at the top of a dene hole in the morning, so hope it's as sunny then
"Only just made 12 C here"
Hey you've got nothing to complain about... We got 20 cm of snow in two days and strong wind all the time now.
LOLOL Evert. Yes, sorry about that ;)
