The wet and windy, with occasional snow, 2022/2023 thread

[popeyewhite]

Been pouring continually and not really above 5c here in Macc for the last week. Awful weather. Spring showers? Don't make me laugh the reservoir in Whaley Bridge has nearly filled. Little bit of hail on the moor yesterday.

Weather will improve from now on!

It can hardly get worse!

It hit 29c yesterday in Colorado. I don't think we're likely to have another snowfall this season....but it still wouldn't surprise me. We've got at least one more freeze ahead still.

I occasionally post this sort of thing, knowing that there's a good chance of snow actually occurring - and thus highlighting the comedy of Colorado weather, but I genuinely thought we were done this time.
Here's the forecast, somewhat changed from the other day-

[jimmyjimjim]

27th snowfall has so far dropped a couple of inches of wet, heavy snow.

I'm out in Utah at the moment for work, and starting to appreciate just how weird the weather can be over here. Wednesday: 25C, got a bit sunburned. Thursday: 3C, snow. Today: sunny, -1C.

WTF

What type of people will find it an improvement - Skiers or sunbathers ?

Good luck with that, I thought we were.

The first rule of fish club is that we don't talk about fish

Are we delaying the summer thread? All my weather apps have replaced next week's reported 20 degree and sun for 14 degrees, cloud and an easterly wind

Yep, easterly over the North Sea means grey murk in the east, cool winds and sunny spells in the west. Yuck.

And in the middle it has been quite lovely, today anyway.

It feels like it's been a long winter.

Just over 2 months until the nights draw in.

Frankly, I'm done with it for the year - you're welcome to it!

[75Black]

Well all the hope of any real sun and warm weather is gone, max of 11 degrees and rain by Friday. What a stinking crap year it is weather wise so far.

[Timothy Bucktu]

I watch Xjet on YouTube...an RC flying model enthusiast in New Zealand. They've had a crap summer by the looks of it, so I guess the Northern hemisphere will too judging by how crap spring has been so far.
I guess the heady heights of 40 degrees last year was the final hurrah before a period of blandness and drizzly year of weather here?
