First Day of Spring

[Sealion]

It's the vernal equinox today (I thought it was the 21st) and it could not be more unlike Spring with more snow showers and cold wind here.
Dreadful forecast for the next five days as well. It seems such a long winter. This time last year we sat out having coffee after a walk and we all complained we were too hot!. However we had no good weather after that so perhaps there will be a reversal this year.
Is there a north south divide weatherwise or are we all suffering?

Eeee, it's tough oop norf lass !

If it's any consolation, it's not a whole lot better in Middle England - about 5 degrees, dull, misty and perishing cold

[Romig1]

It is usually the 21st, but it's a day earlier this year.

Last year at this time we enjoyed 20 degs (though probably not in the wilds of Yorkshire it must be said).

[Serendipity]

Not nice in Southport either, lets hope it is a reversal of last year.

Every day has a golden lining for me - and today it's the fact that I can get back into the forum website.

I don't care if it's cold outside!

You know when it's cold when you stand on the end of Comer pier and it's blowing a lazy easterly wind, it goes thru you and not around you.

It was snowing quite heavily here at 6.00am this morning all gone by 9.00am, it keeps trying again though

[Jean W]

I was told it had been snowing at 6.00 am

This year, officially, it might be the first day of Spring - it's tomorow in my book

[Ray B]

ooppps Typo should read Cromer Pier, but then you all knew that.

Jean, do you mean you weren't up cooking breakfast for Mr W shame on you

[GillD46]

A fabulous spring day here, yet another afternoon sitting in the garden with clear blue skies and if out of the wind, really very warm. My outside thermometer says 18 degrees and in the conservatory it's 23.

Giant and Gill.......Are you quite sure you are domiciled in the British Isles Here it is grey and 6C. Not an inkling of the sun. Jay

[Jacknian]

I'm in east Anglian and its horrible here, not snowing at least but cold windy and drizzly. Need a holiday !

[Manoverboard]

Can indeed confirm that the sun has been shining all day in sunny Darzet .... lubbly jubbly

Yep, in sunny South Wales....though I fear it's about to deteriorate

[Onelife]

Travelled back from Wales on Sunday and I can tell you the snow topped hills were a site to behold...more snow predicted later for this week, so I believe.

Don’t you just love spring?

[Manoverboard]

Yup .... boing, boing, boing

[Suekersh]

Tomorrow the forecast is 30c sunny with scattered showers in the morning. As we don't arrive till afternoon they don't count. Barbados here we come.

Happy Easter everyone.

We must have got a little micro climate here on the Gower, as Sunday was lovely too!

[suespud]

Flipping freezing all day here in Geordie land. Hailstones, snow, rain.... .

Gill you are definitely living in a much warmer part of South Wales than me - I'm up in the Rhymney valley about 8 miles north of Caerphilly and the temperature today hardly rose above 8 degrees. I've only managed a few days in the garden this year - not to sit in - actual gardening to keep warm! On my walk this morning with the dog we were both wrapped up warm and it looks as if an umbrella is going to be needed tomorrow Hopefully though in two weeks time I'll be enjoying better weather in the Med
