Arrgghhhh -the countries ruined! wtf? F$£”&!I(+ sleet adn snow this morning riding home from work. Last week sunscreen!

Thats it – I have hadenough.

Fppttffpptf!

Just south of you, and ‘only’ rain here – but then on Sunday at GT I was following my sons’ dust trails 🙂

*Reports swear filter avoidance*

😉

Just over welly tops here (between Nairn and Grantown in the highlands). Put the kibosh on the overnight van trip until I can dig the thing out 😥

It’s snawin…big time in East Lothian. Thank god for wood burning stoves 8)

It’s a sunny spring day down here in southern paradise.

😆 😆

😆 😆

That was one of the most cold and miserable commutes ever. Just horrid.

🙁

Lot worse out Livingston way. Plenty of snow out here and plenty more coming down. 🙁

sunbathing in shorts and t shirt at GT last friday. 😆

snowing yesterday here on the west coast of Norway as well

sunny and 0 C today

No jacket,shorts, dusty ride in this morning, suns out saw a kingfisher.
Its great being a southern softie.
Spare some water guv?

It’ll all be gone tomorrow.

That was one of the most cold and miserable commutes ever. Just horrid.

I’m sure you must have had worse commutes than that. Snow in Ayrshire but none in Glasgow. Temperature was fine though and the commute was alright if a little windy.

If you’re comparing to last week then, yes not very nice.

😯

Another warm sunny day here. 8)

Of course, if this snow was in London, and it was reported on the news, all you deep fried Chewit munchers would be whining about the London centric media, wouldn’t you?

😉

*Reports swear filter avoidance*

+1 😉

Another BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY on the South coast! 8) 8)

Looking forward to a nice dusty ride tonight too. Ha ha ha!

Oh and did I mention the Olympics?

Last week – local trails dry, solid and bordering on dusty
Yesterday – started out dry, at the top of my usual climb i was inside a cloud
Today – no chance of turning a wheel

Oh well, it’s all weather

“I say Nigel would you have a word with Mr Cameron the sun’s gone in have him fix it will you?”

Too much for biking and not enough for skiing here in the highlands.

Grump.

What is going on with the weather this year?

Incredibly mild March: we had a BBQ on Sunday in 22°C and blue skies.
Now it is 6°C, we have sleet here and snow a bit further north.

It better not snow properly round here: Allenheads have just put away all the tows for the season and my snowboard is at snow+rock for a full service till Saturday.

I suppose there is always the sledge.

I was coming home from a night shift having cycled in on a fine evening, No hat or waterproof or scarf. Thats what made it miserable cold and horrid. Nearly bailed out and flagged a taxi

Lovely and sunny down here in the south, shame we’re off to GT over Easter WE!

No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing. And it was forecast.

No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothing. indeed

And it was forecast.

I wasn’t listening 😳

That explains the cold snap: TJ WAS WRONG and the resulting shockwave caused the Earth to shift on its axis 😀

It’s not unusual, as Tom Jones would say.

Thats not like you 😉

mmm piss poor preperation then 😀

Was chilly in Glasgow yesterday, I was dressed for winter on my commute.

It’s not unusual

Highest March temperatures ever recorded in Scotland, followed by a 20°C+ drop?

It is a bit unusual…

this is a bigger problem.
From my local amateur weather station:

(2007 was the big severn floods)

Sorry Stoner – I’ve no sympathy for you. You had all that extra rain in 2007 and you didn’t keep any aside for a, err, rainy day…..

some bugger left the plug open and it all fell out the bottom into the Oirish Sea.

*looks out the window*

No, lack of rainfall doesn’t seem to be a big issue int’North. 🙂

Must just be the Southern Softies 😀

Maybe if you pretend there wasn’t a forecast,

And if you ask repeatedly for someone to copy and paste the forecast that you somehow missed……..

Never mind 😉

So it beat the records which shows it has happened before but this time it beat the previous record so the media jump and down. I can remember it being like this before, seen snow in July on top of Windy Ghyle in July. We live in a very climatic area variations of weather happen through out the day never mind weeks.

Shorts, tee shirts and snowboards in Les Gets last week. 8)

Couldn’t care less about this week’s weather.

No, lack of rainfall doesn’t seem to be a big issue int’North.

Well it’s obviously not a problem when you use the bath to store your coal and don’t mind smelling of sweat, beer, and ferrets, but for those who need to maintain standards and a nicely kept lawn, it can be a tad inconvenient.

Happily my drinking water arrives to me in bottles after having percolated through the French Alps for thousands of years, so that’s not an issue.
