The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2018/2019 thread

[RTB]

Expecting it to snow over the peak district tonight, although I don't think much will stick. This will be the latest snow we've had for a while if it arrives.

Well, at least we'll get a few weeks of slightly warmer weather before winter starts again....

Snowing at low levels in Aberdeenshire!

Yup walked the hound in a blizzard just North of Aberdeen this morning. Filthy! Melting on impact though, about 4-5 degC on the drive to work.

When's the Spring/ Summer thread coming?

God alone knows what's happening here. Due to be 26c on Monday, and snow on Wednesday.

I'm extremely disappointed with the temperature today in north east London. I will be outdoors from 2:00pm until 10:00pm.

I'd like something done about it please. Can you move some lines on your charts around a bit Puggit?

Thanks.

Just washed the car. It was freezing.

Not long arrived in t'north, and there's a dusting of snow on the peaks around the ski areas, and the ice warning came on in the car.
Will be trying to walk up a mountain tomorrow but shan't need the suncream.

I got horribly burnt at Easter one year on Ben Nevis. A combination of a bit of snow on the ground and clear skies.

What are you hinting at Puggit?? I'm hoping to kayak to the Isle of Wight next weekend, but if the weather's not right SWMBO is threatening to take me to the Malvern flower show!

Malvern? Can't you sneak off and have a look at Morgans being cobbled together?

[Bill]

There's a thought! I was thinking of the Forest of Dean MTB routes.

I'm driving LeJoG from Thursday in my '63 Riley, should I put snow tyres on my shopping list?

Sod all snow up at 3000 ft, but minus four windchill.

BBQ thread anywhere...?

Same here, East Berkshire.

Probably had more rain today than for the whole year so far.

Bonus is it is nice and cool.

[jimmyjimjim]

Summer isn't back. Snowing again here, and due to continue for most of the day.

Have to disagree, the sky has turned a slightly lighter shade of grey.
