Prolonged Cold Snap (UK)

First topic message reminder :

It began before xmas and still has a grip on us and is believed by some to be set to last all of January.

I'm just happy we finally got some decent snow, we got six inches today and it is snowing again now, thing is it causes so many problems and people get hurt.

What are your experiences of the weather like, what problems have you had and do you know of anyone who could use some positive or healing thoughts at the moment because of it.

18C yesterday

I predict that we will get more snow in the third week of april.

Just a little something I took last week. High Force, River Tees, North Pennines.

Lovely pics Norseman thank you for sharing


Hasn't that wind been cold today? There was no escaping it

Just seen the monday evening news. Snow forecast for Northern England/Scotland this week.

I wish the wind would stop, it would feel warm if it did

It's getting colder again we shouldn't need the heating on in May.....i'm dreading my bill

I think we're slipping back into Winter only 7 c this morning

Frost in the morning or so they think, it is really cold for May.

I'm sure I saw it snow this morning but it turned out to be cherry blossom petals blowing in the wind at least the second half of it was...

27C today it was warm I even wore a t shirt

Cold and rainy here. Calling for rain mixed with snow tonight and tomorrow morning.

it seems we've swapped weather

It sucks!

I'd throw a snowball at you but they've al melted

Summer came and lasted one day - last Saturday.
Here it is at Kielder Water in Northumbria

That's a lovely pic Norseman, did you only get the one day of good weather? We had it friday, saturday and sunday, sunday was awful it was far too hot.

One day was our ration ! The wind then returned to it's usual, i.e. from the North-East, and all back to normal. Single figure temperatures !

'shivers' that NE wind is a cold one, when i'm visiting the NE I have to take extra jumpers

Think we had that NE wind today it's been really cold.

The weather was absolutely perfect today, a steady 25c, the slightest breeze just to take the edge off the heat and CLOUDY

I'm freezing tonight the wind has stopped but it feels like November again

same here violet, it's weirdly cold

I've had to put a jacket on, but I think i'm coming down with something. it's ten degrees outside and the wind is getting up again.

This weather is mad it was 27 again today
