Even in dull awful dreary days, Mother nature will provide splash colour

Thanks for that information, Yes I did mean lightning detector, If you do find another site apart from IOW, Would you kindly let me know,,,,,,,,Thanks

2.4c with light breeze, grey sky, Is there thunderstorm tracking site? Know lots people look for summer storms and wonder how would track if chance storm crops up in summer,

Could be better the devil we know,,,,,,,,,,,

Like photo of your pond from last year, Heron cleared my pond, Revamped it with plenty hideaways for fish,

You are right,, Very standard early March weather, Even if temps rise above average for early March, rain and winds will not make it feel warm. One thing though the nights are slowly getting lighter. If we get any bright afternoons will feel much better and give chance to get outside,

People were actually moaning about the 1976 summer heat, When it finally did break down and rain, there were people out in street with joyous relieve, I remember the first smell of rain hitting the parched ground, There was violent storm that hit Birmingham area on 13th sept,,,,,Will never forget that storm, Spent my life on fire and Ambulance service, seen many incidents, but that storm remains memory for me,, Attended local park where horse and rider struck by lightning, neither survived strike, My caution of thunderstorms remain with me to this day

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/drought-of-1976-brought-standpipes-and-shared-baths-478513.html Just for interest. Have read of this article about the wonderful summer of 1976, Remember my neighbour out at 2am in morning watering there garden, It was like SAS operation.done in silence with hooded torch, If caught.people faced £400 fine and being ostracized,

Seems we will have more unsettled weather next week, Lots hope we can get half decent late spring/early summer,,,,,,,,,,

St,Davids day starts with much brighter skies,some rain spots in air,

Excellent description of present weather here,,

Light rain, overcast and chilly,,,,,,No sign of sun

Carol Kirkwood moonlighting ????? Think we treanding slightly mildier and may have some sunny spells, till mid week

That's good idea, If and when get clear sky, will try that ,,,,,,,,,,,Are you the one, Always in the kitchen at parties ??

Didn't quite manage to get any sun,but had the hints of blue, Maybe tomorrow??

Sun shines on the rightouse my dear,,,,,,,,I stand no chance

Temp 4.2c, light breeze, definitely less overcast, with subtle hints of blue,,,,,,,,,Checked my Dulux colour chart,,Matches "First Dawn"

Think we are lovers of the natural world,,,,,It's all around us,if we care to just stop and look, Lovely photo of new life

Photo of bottlenose dolphins photographed this morning from Portland Bill,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Part of pod of 15 Weather dull dreary but still nature can brighten the heart

Inshore fishing boats, sustain our fisheries, More handline caught fish on sale now, The factory ships and indiscriminate trawling been issues with fish stocks, All down to demand for cheap food, Most fish are preditors and quite happily eat each other, Not a fairytale world out there,,,,,,,,,Guys go out on daily basis in all weathers, doing a tough job, Only buy sustainable fish from our local fisherman, Hope the quotas policy will change January 2014, The amount of fish disgarded is just stupid policy,,,,,,,,,,,Ask Cornish Snow about his passion for protection of Bass stocks, guarantee it's foremost in his mind

Don't mention word "fishing" I did earlier.but think I got away with it.......

Better mood now,,,,,Had walk along river and it's recovering from the flooding, Grayling looking good,,,, Hope you can get out soon , Another month before bass here,,,,,,,

3.4c dull chilly, strong breeze,,,,,,,,,,Low light levels don't help mood,

Weather persists in it's sulky mood,,,,,,,,,,But only 3 days of meteorological winter, 34 Days to clocks change and 32 Days to Good Friday,,,, Absolutely no guarantee weather will improve anytime soon,but nights getting lighter and at least rain will be warmer,,,,,,,,,Who knows might be good Easter? [Grockles delight]

Don't think so much the temps making people feel fed up, It's the grey leaden sky,,,,,
