The weather forecasters cant seem to decide whether we are going to get rain or snow here in Reading. Darn cold though, thats for sure.
It's snowing

Utterly sick of this ****, this weekend a year ago it was 20degrees and we were in shorts and t-shirts.

Let the 1" snow continue and cause havoc.

Got a good 6-8 inches outside my house here up in the outskirts of Belfast. Police seem to have closed the roads up here, people kept getting stuck all day, I've been doing my bit with the snow shovel today helping get some unstuck.
Power keeps going out here too, can't say I envy the engineers out in this weather trying to keep the lights on. The whole city (Belfast) went black a while ago there, but it all seems to be back on now.
My dogs however, are bloody loving it! They're constantly trying to get me to get my wellies back on and take them back out in it.
They'll sleep well tonight.
I couldn't find a ruler to accurately measure it, so here's a pic taken using that internationally recognised unit of measurement, a bottle of "Lime Fresh Domestos Total Blast Toilet Gel"* for comparison sake:
*Other toilet cleaning products are available.
you guys in England didn't get much I take it? Just rain?

Tell me about it, and I've got to walk down to the supermarket in a few minutes.
I was cycling home in it when you posted that.
I was riding down the A34 and then London Road with it battering in my face and nearly blowing me off (ooh err).
It's been snowing most of the day here. I went around to a friend's house after picking the kids up from school and she had her laptop out. She'd been looking at photographs taken this time last year (give or take a day or two) - our kids on the beach, after school, they're wearing shorts, blue sky and sunshine and making Angels in the sand. Today they were making them in the snow!

Yeah I got a slight sun burn this time last year. But it has snowed in mid to late April before now, so this is not that strange.
No F1 tomorrow as sky dish covered in snow and it's too high to clean
Sky GO?

looks like there could be some over night though
And how utterly boring it was.
I'll never forget one of the girls at work dragging me outside, opening her arms and saying, "look, it's not cold anymore!" as I looked on blankly. She saw my vacant expression, realising that not everyone likes warm weather and said, "well, I'm easily pleased."
Give me a year of this, I'd be ecstatic.

Covered in snow out there & plenty more falling.
Snowing heavily here now in Sussex, might put a damper on the Bluebell opening this morning
