Bristawl Si

Missing the action as currently in Fuerteventura where weather is OK but not great. Should be hitting 24/25c by now but hovering around 21c with cloud spilling in on a NW wind.

In Fuertevenutra at mo; it is 22c but with a cooling wind. Prob hotter in Bristol et all ay mo!

Insurance co.s look at cases and risk assess; after all that is what insurance co.s do - balance between risk and safety. Re your existent condition if it still is a condition, even though as you say you've "been stable" they will still regard it as a "condition" for insurance purposes. Someone else mentioned annual cover. I've used annual multi-trip for years but you must, and i stress must, inform the co if there are any changes to your health during that 12-month period or suddenly you begin treatment for a medical condition after you've purchased an annual policy. Dont assume an annual policy covers you, in full, for a whole year. Travel insurance policies linked to bank accounts (freebie policy with some current accounts) are often basic policies; read the small print. Does it cover for trips outside of Europe, for example. And on another point, some policies now exclude countries you might think are automatically included. Mexico is a classic example; a popular UK visitor haunt esp for All Incl. But some co.s are NOT covering for Mexico. And here's a surprise one in "no longer covered"........ The Canary Islands. No joke. Some travel ins co.s wont cover for The Canaries because docs on some of the islands send sick tourists to private hospitals on the islands.

"Deep freeze" at end of March/early April in the UK!?? I think you need to lower your expectations.

Yes i think the very southern part of SGlos and Bristol were literally just out of snowzone.

Complete thaw here; a few patches of snow in back garden where sun doesnt get to. Drove up A38 earlier and villages like Stone and Falfield in S Glos fared pretty well - some quite large drifts in fields and sideroads. As i posted last night my snow/cold benchmark Winter for here is 78/79 for the whole of a winter, but these two events in March stand out for any March in my lifetime for our neck of the woods (remember for Bristol March 13 was coldish but bone dry). Cheers all. One suspects that is it for snow until next Winter.

Last night dumped a fresh couple of inches but there must be some relative warmth in the patio and drive as it has all melted, unlike the other week. Just shows it is best to have cold days before snow comes.

Hope not. Flying out of Bristol airport to Fuerteventura for a few days on Saturday lunchtime.

Almost blizzard-like here in SG now

Wifey just gone to bed; i've promised i'll follow in 30 mins after just one more guinness. But at the age of 56 i'm a big kid when it comes to snow and i cant stop staring out of window watching it fall. Magical, just magical

Love it when it is snowing so hard at night and you dont need to look at lampost to see it falling outside your window

Really heavy now here in SG. Impressive for mid March. My benchmark winter is 78/79. We're not near that for overall whole winter but i cant remember a March like this in Bristol.

That extra bit of elevation will help tonite. Cossham area highest point within the 'strict' Bristol city boundary.

Quite heavy snow now. Heavier than yday and last night

Moderate snow here. All white again. No wind at all

Moderate snow here. Our road has already turned white. Hadnt looked out of window for 30 mins.

V light snow falling here in Stoke Gifford

Not even any snizzle falling here. Seem to be in a gap looking at radar. Cotswolds could zap my snow this eve

Thoughts about Bristol/S Glos? No snow zone?

Light snow falling here

I was thinking that AWD.

Building and intensifying for sure. Southern most parts of our region will get hammered i reck as early as 7.30/8 this eve. I suspect flurries will start to appear, even here, in next couple of hours.

Earlier predictions certainly forecasted a SW movement but this is turning into a nowcast situ.

Camera, camcorder, files. I need to save photos in a folder/file. It is thawing here so photos will be a bit rubbish now. Cheers

Samsung S5 mini. You told me how to do it the other week which i did. It is just a shame the "Click to choose files" doesnt have a straight from Gallery option. Cheers anyway.
