we were promised global warming for decades, if we didnt change our ways. we changed and got snow in April.

Snow in April is more common than snow in December, and it's got nowt to do with climate change.

Snowing quite heavily here in Bath but not settling - was sat in the garden a week ago enjoying the warm sunshine .

It happens. April 2008 we had 7” on settled snow one Sunday, much fun was had by all. Also some late snowy Easter’s when I was a kid in the 70’s.

In a milder part of Brighton, even they had this.

Well this is a nice surprise. Heavy in Eastbourne. As it ever showed in April?

Here’s your part of the world, 13 years ago.

Quite a flurry in Bognor now.

Yeah, we got that in Chi also, the kids were going mental in it!

Pretty sure we had it the following (or maybe previous) year as well.

I seem to recall that year we had a load that it was followed by a "heatwave" and we were in shorts and t-shirts the following weekend.

What happened next was that at the end of Nov 08, sustained very cold temperatures and then snow hit Sussex in waves that winter. Signalling 4 snowy winters in a row. We had up to 13” of settled snow here in Withdean. My kids had about 10x more snowy days off, than I in my entire school days. Very lucky, tons of sledging on deep snow.

At least 3 times in the last 13 or so years that I can remember.

Might even have been more than 3 times. It's certainly not uncommon to see snow in April down here.

About 3 years before I moves here for the girl that is now my significant other. Those were the good days, now chaising kids over the house and no money [emoji16]

Pretty sure statistically we are more likely to have snow at Easter than Christmas. I may have imagined this though.

I knew I hadn't imagined it!

We had a barbecue in Burgess Hill yesterday - out of the wind and in the sunlight it was tee-shirt warm. Much colder today, couple of very light snow flurries......no more than a few seconds.

Yeah that's the good thing with this time of year - when the sun's out you still feel the warmth if out of a chilly wind. Off work today and sat relaxing in the garden for a few hours sheltered from the wind - was lovely!

I can remember more white Easters than Christmases.

Put grass seed down today....customer insisted...waste of time

Slight dusting at some stage this evening here in North East Sussex.
Just let the dogs out and the grass is white

Fed up with this bloody cold snap now I must admit. Mad how much it's spread across Europe
