Well today can be summed up as: Utterly Fantastic. Almost unbroken sunshine with clouds rarely interfering with the sun and when they did it was very brief. Very warm mid afternoon and with over 20c surpassed, Spring has well and truly set in. However cloudier tomorrow but perhaps some brightness or sunshine late on but not as good as today. Cant wait for the summer after days like today!
Did you see the max temp charts for today, Blizzards? Looks like Herefordshire managed to get up to 22c at one point this afternoon!

I think we've maxed at about 20.7c
best day in such a long time leaving me very happy!
We eventually peaked at 20.9c Blizzards, just before four this afternoonThe next question is: when will we pass 25c or even perhaps 30c......?
Bish -
Woo Hoo!!!! 20.1c at 14:20 this afternoon - the first time we've passed the 20c mark for what feels like an absolute lifetime.

Temp up to 18.3c now, and still slowly climbing.
I'm back in Falmouth as of next Monday but only for 6 weeks and ill be back again so not long though I will be in and out of Cornwall throughout the summer, probably going down whenever the weather is good.
It must be nice to have a choice, you get the best of both worlds

Beautiful day today. Some fair weather cloud but not spoiling things.
Yep, it looks lovely out there right now. I should be able to go for my lunchtime walk without needing a coat, for the first time in yonks
So are you back in the Midlands for good, Blizzards?
Bish

With a bit of luck some of us might record our first 20c temperature of 2013 either today or tomorrow.

Had a dream last night that i was in the garden and we had some nice hot weather at the time, however i remember being very disapointed that it was the only hot day of the summer and the rest of it was cool and dull, obviously only a dream
Hopefully not a taste of things to come!

Check out the 24hr wind speed animation over at xcweather (www.xcweather.co.uk). Looks like the North West are really getting pounded right now.

Spring at last?
Yep, certainly starting to feel like Spring now, albeit belatedly. Hopefully I should see my first 20c+ temperature very soon.
My first 20c+ day in previous recent years:
2005 = April 30th
2006 = April 21st
2007 = April 5th
2008 = no record unfortunately
2009 = April 20th
2010 = April 10th
2011 = April 6th (the temp reached 20c or more on ten separate days during April 2011 - what a Spring )2012 = March 27th (topped 20c the following day too, but not again until May 22nd!)

Huge gusts of wind at the moment! Wasn't expecting it to be quite so windy today.

Just started drizzling here. It's been gloomy & overcast all morning, and not especially warm either.

My current sequence of sixteen days was finally broken last night, although it was very nearly extended as we dropped to just 0.1c before six o'clock this morning.
My records only go back as far as 2004. Here is where the latest sequence sits:
17 days:
19/02/2005 to 07/03/2005
16 days:
23/03/2013 to 07/04/2013
14 days:
01/02/2009 to 14/02/2009
12/01/2013 to 25/01/2013
11 days:
28/12/2008 to 07/01/2009
31/12/2009 to 01/10/2010
16/12/2010 to 26/12/2010
15/02/2013 to 25/02/2013
So the local record remains with the 2005 spell. However, if the temperature had dropped slightly further than 0.2c on March 22nd 2013 (when we experienced four inches of snow here in Solihull) the sequence would have stretched to a whopping 22 days instead.

We got down to an impressive -5.8c in the early hours of this morning.

Still a tiny bit of shovelled snow outside, another day of this and it should soon be all gone.
The last slither of level snow from my garden disappeared yesterday, it was well away from the sunshine though.

A few microflakes here this morning, and still bitterly cold.
Last night was the thirteenth consectutive night whereby the temperature dropped to zero or below, and the twenty-third instance in twenty-six days since March 10th.
Sequence of my daily lowest temps since March 10th:
-1.3 / -4.2 / -4.6 / -3.8 / -6.4 / 2.2 / 1.3 / -2.5 / -4.7 / -0.9 / -1.0 / -3.4 / 0.2 /
-1.3 / -2.5 / -1.9 / -1.0 / -1.9 / -4.2 / -3.9 / -5.5 / -6.9 / -1.9 / -5.0 / -3.4 / -0.5

Number of days whereby the temperature at my local weather station dropped to zero or below during the month of March.......
March 2009 = 5 days
March 2010 = 10 days
March 2011 = 9 days

2. December 2010 = 20 days
3. February 2013 = 18 days

snow flurry arrived, seems showery today mainly to my north, dusting now, snow showers moving in from wash area
Wall-to-wall sunshine here. However, if we follow the pattern of the past ten days or so, the clouds will soon roll in by mid-morning.

The sun today has really zapped much of the remaining snow. Only a few slithers of the stuff left now, apart from where it has been shovelled to one side to clear a driveway:
Farewell then, dear friend. See you again in November (or December, or January, or February etc.......).
In order mine were
1) March 22/23 2013 snowfall
2) January 18/20 2013 snowfall
3) June 28 2012 MC storm
Pretty much my top three as well, although I did enjoy some of the big Atlantic storms late last year. Upon reflection, a really fascinating twelve months of weather.

Not much snow cover left now.........
Most will be gone inside another couple of days or so.

Well I was not expecting this - snowing very lightly here at the moment
We got down to -5.5c in the early hours of this morning.

I've just had a quick gander at Winnats Pass on Google Street View - in fairness I can now understand how an avalanche could occur there, very easily in fact
Bish
-
I have heard that there has been an avalanche on Winnats Pass blocking the road.
An avalanche in the midlands? Nothing surprises me now.
Bish

still lots of snow left in areas, green grass one place, white grass just a few metres away! 4.1C max today so less cold, maybe another -6 tonight
Pretty much the same here as well. The snow and ice has retained an impressive grip in many areas, helped of course by the fact we haven't seen much by way of sunshine beyond early morning.
Bish
best day in such a long time leaving me very happy!

Plenty of time for it to burn away later
