Note to myself: Must move to Croydon if I want snow. Another note to myself in capital letters: CROYDON! ARE YOU SURE? -
View from my bedroom window this morning.
-
A surfing seagull at the seawall in North Lowestoft today. The one further back in the photograph which I think you can just make out got smashed onto the concrete but flew away as though nothing had happened.
-
I will have to get a "girlie" like you "girlies" because my "girlie" went out with her "girlie" friends and got drunk as "girlie" skunks.
-
A snap I took today of the unobtrusive little wind turbine in Lowestoft.
-
North Sea from earlier today, still a bit choppy.
-
Think I will be popping into the Wherry Hotel for a few beers later. It's looking very nice.
-
My neighbour just came back up the cliffs after going for a swim in the North Sea. Now fair enough she is slightly insane but this still might be a sign that summer is just around the corner.

Huddled indoors? Then they're lazy sods.

A beautifully sunny morning here on the east coast. A very spectacular sunrise on my way to work. Have a great day all you wonderful weather watchers.
-
I love a good end of the world as we know it story. Excellent stuff.

Are we about to enter another mini ice age ?

Exactly. As my dear departed mother always said, "if you pick your nose all day eventually you will find the perfect bogey." -
Back home (sung so beautifully by the football squad of 1970) now until 3pm after a shift from hell. It was as cold as ice (sung so beautifully by ). We thought we had found a frozen body in a refrigeration container last night (sung so beautifully by Alice Cooper) but it turned out to be frozen fat wrapped up in sacking (no appropriate song found for this.) Happy Easter Sunday.
-
Now dismantling a refrigeration unit outside a famous Norfolk turkey killing facility. Take it from me they don't need a refrigeration unit, it's freezing out here. I seriously need to get an office job.

Sadly it's time for me to head back out to work. I'll finish at about 11am tomorrow, and then start again at 3pm and go through until 2pm on Monday. But with the clocks going forward I end up stealing an hour. What a result. I almost feel like I'm cheating and being lazy. Wishing you all a great Easter.

I happen to know old Hab quite well, we met some years back at the Mecca Bingo hall in East Ham. A lovely fella. -

I think that this is a weather forum that is frequented in the main by weather enthusiasts who have a tendency to like their weather a tad extreme. Be that cold and snowy, hot and stormy, hurricane or tornado. So when I hear one of the members say that they're "not a big fan of these conspiracy theories" It tends to make me raise an eyebrow in a Roger Moore kind of way. -
Back home for a few hours from work. It's impossible to work outside in these blizzard conditions. Actually I have just skived off to get myself something to eat.
-
That's thrown my old brain, isn't it Saturday today?
-
At work on a roof in Lowestoft and just saw a very lonely snow flake. I think it must have got itself lost.
-
South beach Lowestoft packed with Good Friday holidaymakers.
-
Just started work and there is NO strong easterly, just a wee breeze. Unbroken blue skies. Glorious.

Strange mini ice age http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-21941646 -
I really hate to say this as a fully paid up member of the Triangle of Doom but it's snowing here.
-
Is it really? I would have been down there like a shot. My shoulders are a bit butch but my legs are great.
