Fitting that it was Brits 1 and 2 in qualifying for the Chinese Sprint GP.

Looks like snowmageddon is finally arriving?

Actually you can't see the light blue below where I snipped is 0% chance of snow. You wouldn't expect snow with no wind

Looking out the window, my old friend driving sleet is back...
Maybe I won't have 9 holes this evening after all.

Oh

I believe nothing though Puggit, just had another big (but short) hail storm so keeping my options open and stocking up on tinned food!

Which is odd, because if the pressure drops 115mb in three hours you'd expect it to be a bit breezy.

Can you imagine the Daily Express? They'd be right for once...

We've got 2 days of snow and high winds , very squally , and daytime highs are less than zero . Gone by the weekend then back up into high teens , reckon this is the last bite of winter at last

Largely the same here. Saw several cars with a couple of inches of snow on them this morning, and it's cold until Sunday, but we climb back up into the 20s after that.

Bloody forecast for next week is highs are barely into double figures. FFS.

Well the summer last week was lovely. Back to winter now with daily rain next week.

What a climate to live in eh.

[jimmyjimjim]

And it snowed overnight here (about an inch on grassy areas), and is snowing again. Amusingly, I was in Costco, when I received an alert on my phone from the National Weather Service: 'dense fog advisory'. I went outside...nope, it was snowing.

Very varied, parts of Denver got up to 6" overnight. After tomorrow the lowest overnight 10 day forecast is about 5c, so we should be done with snow now.

Yep. This coming week's forecast for my part of Surrey is colder than we had in early February.

If the wind continues how it is the feels like temperature will be a lot lower.

Pretty much perfect Spring weather here today (Torridon).

FTFY, GC.

You're welcome.

It’s been grey, wet and cold here in Edinburgh today but at least there was a nice sunset.

[thepritch]

Winter keeps threatening to hang around. We’ve had snow in May and June before so it’s believable, but hoping like most forecasts it’s completely wrong.

[Chicken Chaser]

Lovely sunshine for most of the day but the high of 9 Deg is hardly spring like

[ChocolateFrog]

Full on icy breath weather this morning.

Haven't checked the temperature but feels like 2-3.

And grey, obviously.
