Exactly. When are we going to get some decent weather?

Mind you, just back from a trip to the Isle of Skye and, whilst cold, got really lucky with the weather and, with the peaks covered in snow, the scenery there and on the way up was just awesome.  :)

Hope the weather gets better in May, Fenton. Will be over in Belfast with my pals and our wives for a weekend. Any knowledge of Belfast and what to do (so far the women want to see the Titanic Exhibition), good pubs, restaurants, etc.?

As mentioned in an earlier post there is no such thing as 'bad' weather only inappropriate clothing.

I remember a really cold April in 1998 which turned into a glorious summer. 1999 however was totally crap.

Tired of the cold weather. I just want some nice late Spring weather so that I can enjoy being outdoors etc.

One day this week, Monday I think.

Mrs Orcs came home and said it had been snowing at work 5 miles away.  I had been mowing the lawn in a T-shirt and jeans

I have 8 weeks until I will be by a pool in Turkey, although I will be taking figures to paint.  Just trying to work out which ones to take so I can take the minimum number of paints

It's been shorts and flip-flops weather today. Sunny with just a slight chilly breeze, but true to form April till October is official shorts and flip-flops time.

We're well into autumn here, some cool mornings (4-18 degrees), but nice days (17-24 degrees, this month)  :d ;)

Stroll on.....It was almost Arctic gear required over here, yesterday.
The horses went out with rugs on, and the swallows were sitting on the phone lines looking as though they thought that they'd returned too early.

Cheers - Mr Chilly.

My shorts and sandals have had to go away. Woke up to snow on the lawn this morning. However I do believe it is due to warm up from tomorrow (and absolutely p down on Sunday).

A Smart Car doing 120 mph?
Title: Re: Snowing!
Post by: fsn on 29 April 2016, 11:09:42 AM
A Smart Car in shades?
Title: Re: Snowing!
Post by: Leman on 29 April 2016, 11:26:06 AM
It's called a Smart Car because it's smart enough to be travelling at 120mph. but only gets clocked by the Police at 55mph.
Title: Re: Snowing!
Post by: Subedai on 29 April 2016, 12:35:58 PM
Either that or the speedo's been doctored. I'm still not having a Smart car doing 120mph anywhere. Although I don't drive I've seen Smart cars...and I rest my case.

Well perhaps just over 70. They are bloody 'orrible things to drive.

Another pleasant start to a day, lovely sunshine and not a cloud in sight. Might have to break out the shades if I go out.

Even down here in London it was bloody cold in the night. Waiting for it to warm up a bit so my plants start coming up.
