This morning there is a light coating of snow a little higher up the N downs than where I am. I drove to a friend's and was surprised to see it on the ground - and then the sky went black and dropped lots of hail on me.
It went down to -6C last night and all the magnolias that were in full and glorious flower in gardens nearby are now reduced to very unattractive brown mush
Snow and hail April 9th
muhahaha muhahaha LOL
Oh Philomel how disappointing!! :((
the rain on our roof this morning was birds. silly me
Ive heard of raining cats and dogs but birds? LOL!
Oh LOLOL Mark, yes silly you - so the sky was still blue after all?
What were they? startlings?
Good one psilo. I've even heard of it raining fish and frogs - literally, but birds are up there anyway so how would you tell?
Hail/snow again now :(

Well I just looked at the thermometer and it's 22C outside!!
Can any of you top that??
Not even bright sunshine either, it's just WARM
Less than a week later than all that snow/hail

It is 94 degrees F in my conservatory right now!
That's cheating :P
I know but tell that to my poor seedlings!! LOL
Major wilt time :(
Your not wrong there Philomel. I spent 7 hours planting poppies yesterday on my allotment just so i could get some of them out. I spend all my days watering, watering......
23C here already this morning - 9.45am!!
I'm off to the seaside :)
35 degrees in my conservatory with both doors open!! and all my geraniums are wilting outside! :((
even my nice red dwarf tulips are faded. They are not as vibrant as they usually are. I think the sun has bleached the colour our of them!
350 in my mum's oven this morning!
LOL Mark I hope you werent in it!!
Hope that was Fahrenheit Mark!
It's over 100 C/215 F in one of our rooms every Friday :)
let me guess ....................................... the sauna?
Yep ;)
......and here's the beach at the seaside :)
(I even got a little bit pink)...in APRIL lol
PINK???
Well whose boasting then eh???
We poor Scots start as pale blue, then after six hours of sun we turn a sort of pasty white, then really white after another 4 hours. It takes us a whole weekend in Blackpool to get anywhere near pink (even in rainy weather) ... the english (almost) comedian Clement Freud (nephew of the nutcase psychiatrist), once said that Scots only have red, or brown, faces according to their drinking habits .... WELL!!, let's forget the habit, give us the bottle back luv!! Ah've gotty get a tan furra summer ... hic!!
Winterblear
How's the weather over with you then Barry? Any chance of a tan, or is it going to have to come out of a bottle LOL
(Got even pinker today mowing my Mum's lawn *G*)
LOL wintermoor,I won't tell you all that I've spent the last 3 days sat on my new steamer chair ,on my deck, admiring the fish.All in the line of duty of course...just making sure that the gulls don't come and take them.....rolled up the old trouser legs, even went as far as getting on the old shorts yesterday.
Today is bar-b-que day, so of course ,forecast is changing.but so far it's sunny out there, but the winds howling a bit, hubby want's to buy a chimnea to use..but I'm not so sure that I want to be covered in sparks and smoke as I eat.He originally wanted to buy one of those lamp-post type heaters..but I threatened to throw him out of the house if one of those appeared!
