Hmmm...

Last time we had proper snow in March was in 1982/3 apparently... then there were huge falls of snow and people got snowed in for weeks, or so my mother said.

You think this might happen again?

Maybe they'll cancel lectures *crosses fingers*

Not on the ground. Grass and bushes covered in it though.

And if it snows during the night, it'll stick.

Don't ruin a good daydream!

In 1982ish there was no snow until after St Patricks Day, then it snowed non stop for a month. Drifts of six feet everywhere, or so I'm told.

Maybe it'll happen this year... it's certainly due. And if that happens, it's a possibility.

Obviously younger than 24.

It snowed on Friday, January 8th, 1982. For the full 24 hours, more or less. There were snowdrifts in O'Connell St! I still remember it well because I was married the following week. Couldn't go to work for the whole week. What a pity (not). Those who heroically made it into work couldn't get home for a week, either.

Just remember The Day After Tomorrow...

...is Sunday.

Because that's the correct verb ending for third person singular in Old and Middle English.

The last time I had a snowball fight was at primary school.
