5 minutes of snow and a few showers of hail, cue the whole of the South East to be paralysed and news crews feverish excitment on a weather story. Thrilling.
Wish it was snowing here. Been too hot for a month now, just relentless heat and humidity night and day. And the well's dry at home so having to buy in water.
Actually after a few minutes of cold weather I think I'd be wanting the Thai weather again! But just a drop in temperature and a couple of major thunderstorms would be most welcome.
I'm so jealous. When I lived there circa 2008 I remember we got a pretty decent dusting at the end of April/beginning of May. It was really pleasant, and just enough to cover everything in powder and make the fields of Norfolk look like a painting.
After listening to the news, it sounds like we're preparing for an event of the 'Day After Tomorrow' proportions!! Mind you, this is the UK where anything more than 2 inches is deemed extremely hopeful and excessive!!
Anything for an excuse to work at home. Not like the old days when we used to make it in come hell or high water. Just can't get the dedication to the cause these days .........Now where did I put that tin hat.

Polish girl at work isn't too bothered. She says at home, they've got about a metre of snow, its minus 27 and only half the roads are shut.

Ducktape's way of wreaking vengeance on all who cross him.
Now back to this horrible hail/sleet again.
All in the space of 15 minutes.
As if Bermondsey wasn't bad enough already.
Prince was right. Sometimes is does snow in April.

The officials at SE only need to watch Frozen to panic over snow and put on emergency services!!
The scores from the Leysdown commity are as following.
1-30pm, cold, light snow.
2-30pm, bit of blue sky, cold.
3-30pm, very dark clouds coming over,
4-20pm, light snow....looking that it might be heavy.
That concludes the news from Leysdown.
Some nice snow at the Oval - I posted it here to stop the Surrey thread being bumped to the top!
Eagerly awaiting reports of sleet in Sidcup.
Silly me, RD saved some money and didn't finish the job. Now (and particularly next week) may have been the best time to give it a test run out.
