Well it was 2C here around the time when I opened the curtains this morning to the sight of wet snow falling. Made a good attempt to snow for the next hour or so, which is more than it did for most of the traditional winter period. Much nicer later in the day, almost pleasant despite the temp maxing out at 7.7C

Only 59.7mm so far here for April, according to amateur station along the road (so accuracy may be questionable). Rather decent day for the most part, with a sunny high of 16.7C just edging out yesterday for the warmest day of the year so far. Very breezy though, great for drying sheets and towels, may even have a run across the grass with the mower tomorrow. It's not exactly desperate for a cut, just taking chances when I get them.

It was windy earlier when I was up the hill walking the dog, but yes, it's died down and very pleasant out now. Pity it's like a winter cold spell, looking like a 2 or 3 day warm up at best before cooling off again next week.

Spring, what Spring? Looks as if Thursday and Friday may be decent before we head downhill again. A high of 8C today, but that was around 1am, daylight hours have been around 5C. Rain hasn't been as bad as it could have been, 18.8mm so far, none of it at all welcome but compared to some days over the last few months it's merely 'normal'.

0.5C and snowing here too, managing to give us a dusting on the ground, but not as much as @Hawesy has though. Bet that's another novelty for him too.

Similar here, it's stopped raining and the sun is making an attempt to be seen. Still only 2.3C though.

Is it just me or do we seem to be suffering a run of late or non appearing springs in recent years? In fact in the NE we seem to have largely been in the same run of weather since October last year.

Making an attempt to lie here too, more so than yesterday.

A little snow in our garden this morning but wet and patchy. Snow line on the hills around Alford looked to be about 300m, quite white above 400m.

2C and could be just about called wet snow when I left for work this morning, 1C and definitely snowing when I got home. Very wet and struggling to settle but hills have a wet looking sparse cover. Doesn't look from recent forecasts that it'll come to anything much more than that. Heading to France at the end the week for Easter, hopefully making it to Montgenevre in the alps with the motorhome, on the French/Italian border. Forecast for there is looking quite snowy this week, so with luck I'll post some skiing pics.

We were planning on heading to the French Alps for Easter, sneak in a bit of skiing possibly. Maybe I'm better staying at home? Cloud cuckoo land surely.

I actually cut the grass today, but never have I felt so cold sat on the ride-on mower doing it. Took the opportunity as the grass was dry enough, we're away over Easter, so could be a while before the next chance comes around. Although it was bright and sunny the strong wind could have cut you in two.

I'm scared... the sky has turned blue in places, and there's a big yellow sphere hovering over us... is it an alien invasion?

Weather was approaching vile yesterday, managed to reach it today. Low of 3.0C, high so far of.... 3.4C, breezy, grey, drizzle.

It was a 'Cool grey 2u' (see Quinach's chart) sort of day today, especially on this afternoon's dog walk. Also cool with a biting cold wind, so not exactly pleasant.
