The start of summer?

I was working. Grumble.

Next Saturday I'm not so fair chance the weather won't be repeated!

Needed to defrost the car this morning before I took the Mrs to the station, out on the bike when I got back and needed full winter gear, I did 43 miles and had cold feet by the time I got to the Cafe and when I got home, there was patches of snow littering the country side, where's this spring and summer you talk about?
My garden thinks its still winter, it went dormant when this cold weather started and remains so.

Nice quick ride tonight. Even managed bib shorts! Well warm.

Got a new top speed too.... 42.3mph!

Black cloud, drizzle and 8C here. Doesn't feel much like Spring, let alone Summer.

So far this year we've had two really nice days here - March 5th and April 6th. So here's hoping we get a nice day on May 7th!

Supposed to be a scorcher on Sunday... Fingers crossed.

Maybe, the anemometer was showing a southerly wind last night.
But it’s backed northerly now and air temp 6c Mid April ?

Started Raining last night, its definitely the start of Summer

Us folks on the west side of Scotland are getting our usual "scorcher"; i.e. slightly less cold but 50mph winds and rain . I am really, REALLY scunnered with this British weather . Either freezing cold, or wet and windy, apart from maybe 2 days of the year. I am not jesting!

That silly Sausages advert (the one where all the smug kids go back home to mum) is back on TV so summer must be round the corner.

Didn't you have some nice mild sunny weather mid week last week (i.e. just after the Easter weekend) whilst SE England shivered under horrible grey permacast, 3C max temps and snow flurries?

Well that is an improvement for this year, it is raining rather than snowing.

It was sunny; but with a cold easterly wind, and temp just above freezing IIRC! Which is preferable to what is forecast for this coming weekend IMHO.
