I saw some baby coots last Saturday. Seems a bit late?

Thanks C. Must be lovely to see. We have been snow starved here for many years. Whenever it has snowed round here it's gone the next day. We managed to have enough to make a snow man eighteen months ago. Prior to that, we had to go 'oop north' to find some on New Years Eve which we had great fun with at ten at night. I envy you your night-time skiing and apres-ski Apfelschnaps. Andy

Hi Corinthian. Is this early for snow at that altitude and time of year or about right? Doesn't seem like last week there were extremely high temperatures in Europe. Andy

I see on NHC satellite imagery there is a Gill around. Anyone know where this little beastie might be? Andy

Hey Charlton. That was a wonderful description of life in that bad winter. Although not here in that time, I was at school in North Yorkshire in the mid-late 60's and I remember most winters being much colder and snowier. Like you I remember the ice on the inside of windows and huge icicles dangling off the eaves. Snow on the bed in the morning...... Who in their right mind would want that now? John, Great info. Keep the stats coming Anti-mild. I have read 'Frozen in Time' and it is hugely informative - highly recommended. If any of you can speak German, there is info on the winter of 78/79 here http://www.saevert.de/ebsen7879.htm Andy

A cool but sunny morning with a very thin veil of high hazy cloud. Wind - 330° 05 Kt Variable 290°/360° Few clouds at 4800Ft Viz - excellent Temp 15.2° DP 10° Press - 1026 Very steady Have a good day

I always went by the old fashioned eqinoxes. ie. Spring - 21 March Summer - 21 June Autumn - 21 September Winter - 21 December or thereabouts. You are right though about the seasons feeling different. I am a gardener and have noticed several changes. For the last eight years or so there has seemed to be less rain in winter/spring. Certainly when I have planted stuff out early March, it has required constant watering. Look at last April. We did not have rain around here for the whole of April and the first week of May. 5 weeks of no noticeable rain. This seems to be a recurring theme now. There are certainly more pests and diseases around now than used to be. Trees and shrubs get very stressed in these extremes of weather we have had - very dry and hot like last year then sudden flooding or quick cold periods. Whether it's all down to Mother Nature playing its part or AGW I don't know. It's all very interesting. Regards Andy
