I need some pivot,

I

The UK snowless capital Dartford will need more than a pivot or a blob! Come on wrap around!! Break our snow shield-I've never known so many near misses it feels an eternity since January's one decent accumulation here! Even most of London had atleast a little this morning- it was 0c when I left snowy Lewisham but soon as I got to Dartford the temp went up to 1c on my cars thermometer! Suddenly everything green and wet as it's been all winter bar one Sunday and a few slushy deposits

[slater]

just very light snow, but still blowing a gale

[Neilsouth]

So much for it coming south again...

So far for north/north east kent a very dissapointing winter, worst for a long time

[Floatylight]

I am not sure but I think it's coming back in as it was nearly all gone over me now it look s dark blue again?

[Jan_Bromley]

Yes Tamara,

I hesitate to say this, and it's said with huge caution, but perhaps we are at the start of climate change/shift.

Will be interesting to see how this year pans out

[john mac]

All done here, been snowing all day and we have the grand total of a dusting, the third time this winter where it's snowed most of the day with very little accumulation!!!

[Snowangel-MK]

I've been up the downs this afternoon...these are nothing compared to the photos I've seen from Cumbria and Wales but for a weekend in March this was quite something for round here.....

Tell me about it, snow to the right of us, snow to the left etc etc. never thought I say it but be glad when its summer after all these let down, nowt decent here all winter, shame but thats live. Must get into designing refrigeration plants for snow domes, sorry Ron was only joking (private joke between snow made owners of industrial refrigeration companies).

Heaviest snow of the day, here. Everything is turning white!

[Captain Shortwave]

Whatever has hit Lowestoft must have disappeared into thin air. Bone dry here again. Heavy snow to the north/south and west of Yarmouth

My fault Captain, that last post of mine put the kibosh on it. A huge break in the snow has appeared on the radar.

Don't forget to feed the birdies - they're really suffering at the moment just when the hens need sustenance for laying eggs we get this weather so give generously - suet, sunflower hearts, meal worms etc. it really is a throwback to times gone by out there.

my little baby dove has hatched successfully and is snuggling with his mummy.
