ITV meridian just mentioned the chance of something colder mid next week. So they are taking notice, but it is just a chance, not definite yet.

BBC symbols have sleet and snow from next Thursday - T144

[Vortex3929]

Netwx 7 day local forecast has also been showing sleet/snow here Thurs for past 24 hours

[lottiekent]

We’re into a will it/won’t it period again. After seeing some posts in the mod thread saying you can’t get decent snow in late Feb and March I went back to my 2018 photos and found we had snowfall that year on 27th Feb, 1st - 2nd March and then again on 17th March which hung around for a couple of days.

So I’m a little optimistic!

It's ivy, people lose control of it in their gardens, and it spreads, it can root into anything.  Tends to do well near trees. Anywhere where things are just left to look after themselves. I would never plant ivy my self, in my garden, but have some from my neighbour I keep cutting back.

It's been a warm and sunny day here today. Went out for a lovely walk in the morning. Housework can wait for another day.

This must be ivy on a mega scale though.. (steroids) I guess I have a better picture now ..its fat and heavy if it doesn't smother the tree and kill it.. if smaller tree ,brings it down in the wind ..last picture ..which i thought was our  ivy ...and as a plant or creeper it seems thick or a  dunce of a plant or out of area for sure ..unlike mistletoe or normal tarzan creeper it takes right over then brings tree down or kills it then gets cut up itself ..strange ...

n'er cast a clout till May is out…..

The Common Hawthorn, also known as May Blossom, flowers in late April or early May. In other words, the old saying means don't take your warm clothes off until the May blossom is out!

It's cold today, no sun, and a wet mist, must be a front over us, and it can't even drizzle properly.
