Easter has long since passed this year

Its still snowing quite heavy at the moment, the strange thing is its been roasting all day with barely a cloud in the sky and the sun blazing down

Its still coming down quite heavy, but not sticking so much now

Would have been funny if the National would have been snowed off today, would have been a first (and I was backing the snowy one too to win )

and did it win?

I will have a 6 year old boy campaigning for a move 'up north' when he hears we have missed out on the snow once again.

Just before you all go blaming 'climate change' I had my 6th birthday party (April 5th 1975) amidst heavy snow (we had a treasure hunt, around the local woods, so it's remembered vividly)

Nothing new and remember easter was seriously early this year

Inch of snow where I am just now

I ain't blaming climate change... I've had the sense to do some research and read the facts.

My head STILL hurts though

The snow is still falling here in Nottingham. It first started mixed in with the drizzle as we left the City Ground after watching Forest beat Chealtenham.

Must say I've enjoyed watching the smokers getting chilly tonight while I've been warm inside

It is snowing where I live in the South-East although the snow looks as though it'll turn to sleet and then rain.
