Yuckeddy yuck best describes the weather today, although noticeably milder.

Charts are on one again I see

Still raining, doesn't seem that windy here now though.

[Jax]

milder and sunny spells here now, wind also dropped and the rain has stopped.

[snow raven]

I think only 1 word can describe todays weather in my neck of the woods. Crap!

[alexisj9]

woo hoo sunshine.

lol thought it had stoped but turned out to be a small gap in the cloud, still I guess if it's doing that it should finish soon.

Well,birthday weather is for the want of a better word.....yukk.

Think i`ll be staying indoors today,too warm `n` comfy to be bothered to go out and get soaked.

Looking for a rainbow .... Lovely sunshine here now

[chilly milly]

Well looking at the GP Qualifying, its a tad comforting to know that our weather is on a par with Melbourne today.

[Methuselah]

I promise not to edit any more of your posts to suit my wishful thinking

I won't massage yours, either...

My aunt who's 97 lives in a care home in Teignmouth (she used to live across the Teign in Shaldon). I must take my father who's 94 down to visit his sister for what might be the last time they see each other. Last year we were all set, but there was a massive storm down there so we couldn't go.

Just waiting for some decent spring sunshine and warmth to make the trip. Don't want Dad catching pneumonia as we'll be in a B&B and they're not always nicely heated or cosy.

Shaldon's lovely - my Mum actually lives in the countryside outside Stoke-in-Teignhead, which isn't far from Shaldon. Hope you find a good B & B when you next go - bless your Dad, it'll be lovely for him and his sis to see one another.

Happy Saturday

Sue

Hi Tamara, one for your birthday - snigger snigger, GFS control run 384hrs - think you would need to be an April fool to think this will verify.

Miserable day here, just about survived a trip to town, Good to see Grand Prix Qualifying in the rain as well.

[Snow Run]

I don't mind the rain or cold, it's the MUD.

Just got back from our 5.5 mile club cross country championship race (actually, I've been back a while but am only now able to type having spent half an hour in a hot bath). The mud was the worst it's been in the fourteen years we've been using the course, at a complete contrast to the race on the same weekend last year where the ground was baked hard and the winning times were the fastest for years.

This morning's run was a complete slog through shin deep mud and huge freezing puddles of snow melt - brutal conditions. By the last lap in torrential rain and high winds, I couldn't feel my hands and my legs were frozen. It occurred to me at the time (I'd long since lost concentration on the competition!) that it has been an extraordinary week to be out in the weather. On Monday evening it took 4 hrs to drive 20 miles home in a blizzard, and the following day I was running through thigh-deep snow drifts.

Must get on, I've got a whole pile of wet and muddy kit to clean - AGAIN.

It's really grotty out there! The cold wind is making the rain hurt as it's hurtled at you horizontally. Only 5.1c so feeling pretty chilly

[Nick F]

The blue skies didn't last long after the rain cleared, gone grey with showers packing in. In stark contrast to the dry and warm spring-like conditions this time last year ... when we were worrying about the drought!

SNOW DEPTH.

[Hotspur62]

Been a miserable day here in Petts Wood/Lockbottom borders.Max Temp of 8.1 degrees earlier but just started to drop a bit.Bit brighter now but sure it wont be long before more rain spreads in.Next week looks pretty wet and miserable with no sign of Spring.Think the Pennines Northwards may get some heavy snowfall ,down here just good old fashioned cold rain!!Have enjoyed this winter with the cold and snow being the dominant feature between mid Jan and now but just want Spring to come with some Spring sunshine and temps of 10+ degrees as if we get any cold snaps and snow it wont last long due to the time of year we are now in.Wish the last 9 weeks had started in Early December as then we really would have had an epic winter!!

Needs to move just a little more south, south london and southwards are in the warm sector yet again on these. The M4 coridor curse again.

I agree, I've seen the Crystal Palace transmiters hit a few times, V dramatic.

Umm ddn't feel all that mild to me… the wind is straight from Siberia or the Arctic, or somewhere else very cold. Worst weather possible in my humble opinion. Just some sun and frost would be nice if it can't warm up just yet.

[Jan_Bromley]

Happy birthday ab

[stewfox]

Looking for a rainbow .... Lovely sunshine here now

Nice Rainbow here to very strong colours

[Eskimo]

A good possibility of some thunderstorms breaking out across Central Southern England through to East Anglia tomorrow.

[alexisj9]
