Grass appearing slowly where the snow was blown away. Apart from that still very snowy here, albeit considerably milder!

My old dog died Thursday mate...loved him so much.

I am so sorry to hear that, he looks absolutely beautiful, you must miss him so much, my sincere condolences.

Dry, sunny and 5C with a light SE zephyr. Time to reopen the windows, methinks!

Definitely a memorable week here in Norfolk, way better then 2013 and definitely a great spell for the local kids first snow! Here's the Hunstanton Lighthouse in snow which I took on Wednesday..

Out of the grips of winter, spring appears. If you look closely you can just see a pair of mating frogs creeping up from under the ice in the garden pond.

I think I'll keep it for a couple weeks, only just fits in the garden anyway!

Thank-you, how was the snow in Dersingham this week?

10cm at its height, couple of dodgy days getting out of the village.  All gone now.  A week is enough.

i hope they are not being premature

Next weekend - possibly very windy with the potential for rain to turn to snow in central and southern areas. Source: the met office.

That'll be caused by a deep low that's expected to move east-ish across the south or the channel.

i heard that it could tap into some cold air from the continent due to the trajectory of the weather system

Or from polar regions? I'd better have a look at the latest synoptics.  Yes, now looks like easterlies [-ish] from the continent, not northerlies, and not directly from Siberia, could be on the cards. Interesting. If it happens, those easterlies would be slipping south, but not from polar reagions.  Maybe we'll all be radar watching in a week's time if not before, lol.  NB, the winds might come in from scandinavia, but sort of not from directly from a scandi high. Fun times *might* be approaching in a few days.

Well, can hear steady dripping and the snow cover is gradually lessening and it feels slightly warmer, i may be able to get out of the house tmorrow or tuesday depending on how quickly the pavements clear.

all snow gone here and raining steadily, snow woman is down to her feet

[TROY]

Nice to see everyones had the snow fix. Now lets look forward to Summer. When the sun does come out we should get back to double figures. Hopefully some nice thunderstorms again in July. Seeing as the big storms last two years have been in July. Clocks go forward in two weeks.

The daffs are slowly lifting back up after being buried in the snow. Good Health to you all.

Absolutely by no means. The synoptics aside, frogs can be mating here in Jan/Feb one night, then wake up one day to see snow falling. It happens. We have a pond, lol. 2 or 3 nights before the beast hit last week, i saw a female great crested newt on the hunt for food. Hope she made it to somewhere not mega freezing.
