Why is everyone getting so worked up about this? Have we never
experienced snow in March before?

I have photos somewhere of 4 inches of snow in my garden almost covering
the flowering tulips. That must have been well into April. The photos
were taken sometime in the 1990s but I don't remember the whole country
descending into a panic then.

Neither do I remember too much panic when snow covered the cricket pitch
in Buxton on 2nd June 1975 and the midday temp at Colchester was 2C.

Maybe you are all watching too many news bulletins from the hysterical TV
presenters, and these have rotted the memory?

Yes I have to agree with you, Willie. I recall 1975 very well. Only last
early April I was nearly snow bound at Tibshelf services on the M1.

Currently in Charente-Maritime where we are staying for a few weeks it's
16c, a little cloudy but with light winds it feels rather warm! Sorry to
gloat but we just gad to get away from the wintry weather in the UK.
