might know a song called "Losing  It"

Great lyrics, from Signals album 1982 would you believe, time gone in a whisper, I can certainly relate to the lyrics now 42 years later. 

Absolutely suntastic out there.  Max yesterday of 10.3°C.  Temp currently 9.5°C.  Can really feel the warmth, apricity, of the sun through your clothes.  Beautiful.

[Day 10]

Spring has certainly sprung! Glorious day out there now, some warmth in the sun too.

Winter is over for me, bring on the nice weather now please. .

It's been another poor one overall and I think for once, the North West probably did the best out of the scraps available (excluding Scotland & Northern Ireland of course).

Back to popping in sporadically, here's to a decent storm season to keep the interest going until we start our journey back on the winding garden path to snow.

Take care all and enjoy the sun while it lasts!!!

What's the reckoning easter will be colder than christmas, quite high this year I feel given how mild christmas was. Not unheard of when easter falls in March.

A very spring like day and mild ,my wife says fb and instagram are down nationwide ,have the Russians cut the cables

[A Face like Thunder]

A gorgeous early Spring day and little or no wind to peg the temperatures. With clear skies, I think we shall have a cold night ahead and I wonder whether we shall have another chance to see the Northern Lights. I hope so anyway as I missed them on Sunday.

[Dark Horse]

As said by others a very nice early spring day with plenty of sun. And you can feel it gaining a bit of strength now. Sun angle similar to early October and when it's sunny then it can feel just as pleasant as now, maybe even more so given temps can be a bit milder than March.

[Rush2019]

It's been a mild one, lots of sunshine and some majestic cumulus congestus over this hills which looked like huge mountains of pink shaving foam in the setting sun.  Rostherne looks like it maxed at 12.7° C.  12.5°C in the car earlier by the airport. Nice.

[severe snowstorm]

Yes, a spring like feel today and plenty of sunshine. Temp reached 11.4C, but with the strength of the sun, a different feel than if a  similar temperature had been reached in December/January. The year is certainly marching on steadily.

[damianslaw]

Rain overnight combined with slightly milder temps has removed a fair amount of snow on the tops even sheltered east aspects, a more patchy appearance.

A very pleasant early spring day, more please!

[Had Worse]

Dry, frosty and 0°C

 

[Rush2019]

A touch foggy in parts here, especially higher up.  Beautiful again isn't it?  Here at lower levels it's bright and sunny as of 8.15am temp 2.4°C.

[A Face like Thunder]

A bit surprised with the early mist but now clearing into another lovely early Spring day.

[tricol]

This is more like it. Nice a crisp, sunny start to the day, just like early spring should be. Definitely chilly once the sun is gone, I was out on the bike last night and once the sun dipped down to the horizon the temp fairly dropped. Not much rain in the forecast now so lets hope this gives the ground a chance to start drying out.

Glorious... Say no more!

[Scuba steve]

Fantastic day 10 out of 10

[severe snowstorm]

Another superb early Spring day. A chilly start and some mist rolled in early on briefly, but otherwise plenty of sunshine and a pleasant feel out, certainly no coat required.

[A Face like Thunder]

Cloud has rolled in at times and a chilly wind has developed, but a nice day nevertheless. Front lawn cut for the first time this year and, with the mild wet weather we've had recently, it was needed.

[Weather-history]

Snowed here that Saturday morning of the 6th March 1999, 25 years ago today

[damianslaw]

Turning into a surprisingly dry period after months of rain, feels quite strange having a run of dry days.

There is a definate spring feel to things now largely on account of dry and sunny weather. On wet overcast days March often feels late winter still. 

[A Face like Thunder]

Another nice morning but more cloud around and bright rather than sunny at the moment. Also more of a breeze, hence no mist earlier

[Scuba steve]

Nice again but the wind is cold slightly taken aback by the brightness of the day 

[Rush2019]

Clouding in now, skies very milky.  Tad cooler than the past two days  temp 7.1°C.  Fog/mist sat around the hills again.

[WillinGlossop]

Three lovely spring like days sunny and blue skies… this morning misty then sunny but clouded up 1130-midday… hill fog… feels chilly compared to previous days… reached 15c on Tuesday in Marple on car… only 6-7c today… 

managed 2-4 hours gardening last three days and this morning… slowly but surely getting many jobs done…  

Great win Sunday (vs Utd) ️️️and yesterday (vs Copenhagen)️️️️️️ now onto Pool… Come on City… not going to Anfield peeps that sit next to us are… next home game FA cup vs Newcastle… 

️️️️️️

Trying to think of somewhere to go (UK) for four day break before British summertime/easter/schools break up… somewhere north of here and by train…. Any suggestions??
