Drove to work this morning at 5.30am in the most terrific of gale force winds, Snow lying on road and constant battering of sleet!

Later on on t in the day you could see plenty Snowfall! I work in a warehouse so its practically outside temperatures because of the constantly open Bay doors and it was unbelievably cold!

Maybe its the first year of many where I am maybe starting to feel old, but I am Actually sick of this constant cold weather when it never used to bother me before!

'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out'

The age of this saying suggests that inclement weather is not a new phenomenon in Britain

A coach going from lanark grammar to alton towers went off the road about 6 miles from me at 6 this morning. Ended up on its side in a burn. A 17 year old girl has been killed. . Weather's terrible here.

Snowed in here good and proper....Sad news about the school bus at Biggar

_KENDO_

Heard about the news of the crash shortly after it happened. Its really put a downer on everyone at work and in Lanarkshire in general. One of the guys I work with Wife is a Teacher at Lanark Grammar and was meant to be on that bus but didn't make it to her work as her car was snowed in up to the grill! She stays in Douglas and the only reason he rang to her up was to check she was ok getting to work as he had to drive round a fallen tree on the road!

Was awful finding out the news about the school bus, especially as its literally not far from where I stay! Apparently there was a couple of serious injured kids that were airlifted to hospital. Mine and I think everyone who has heard the news Thoughts and condolences are with the family of the tragic girl and also friends and Kids who were traveling on that bus with her this morning.

We actually use this saying where I live up in the far north east, just goes to show all this climate change global warming crap is nothing new

Although some would "try" to have you believe different

Oft misunderstood though, as the 'May' it refers to is not the month, but rather the blossom of the Hawthorn tree, which was historically called 'may'.

Out with dogs this morning, only 4oC , horrible wind and loads of rain, not a lot of fun !

I may be to blame for the rain. I have a pile of tree cuttings to cut into logs, and every time I get the electric saw out it p!$$e$ down

I can remember a snowstorm one day in early June a good many years ago in Surrey.
