    Well if we do see some decent snow tomorrow, not only it will be the perfect end to winter but also the perfect revenge over England after all the snow they got.

    Well said danni2! :)

    They had it too snow-good this winter, whilst we mostly watched on the sidelines being teased by it.

    I wasn't getting too excited about this snow potential a couple of days back, my snow radar had switched off with the onset of spring - but if weathercheck's prediction comes to fruition should be great, even though I may not see any myself, should be very interesting - bring it on!:)

    anyway, back on topic, raining heavily here at the moment and quite mild, i'd say 4-5 degrees . . .

    You're not a fool and I don't want snow either.

    speaking of ducks, got this tweet: OMGFacts
    Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.

    Cheers snow ghost, I just had to say that:) I was in England there a few weeks ago and my relatives and friends over there were really teasing me about all the snow they got and I said one day we'll get our revenge and they all just laughed. Well I guarantee you they wont be laughing tomorrow:D

    Anyway snow is easing now and turning sleety.

    As a farmer I take exception to green grass being depressing.
    It was that depressing deep freeze and burnt grass.

    :p

    Warm weather and sexy green grass > snow and messy slush

    This is going to be very tough on farmers, particularly as the growth of grass has been so delayed. If this turns out as bad as Weathercheck suggests then there will be huge numbers of livestock lost.

    Coles,

    On a positive note if it comes it wont last long at this time of year... in other regards, this past - and what I see as a more natural - winter could be a good thing in that it may be a bumper year for crops, etc, considering that in in recent years our winters have been more wet and mild.

    I'm sure when the grass does grow, it will with a vengence, I think the recent cold has probably been good for nature.

    I personally do not care about the hardships snow causes...why? I don't drive, I'm not a farmer and I'm a selfish bast*rd.

    I just find that it calms the mind and is pretty.:cool:

    Listen go over to the Airsoft forum and start annoying them because they like to shoot each , or the football forum because they like to play with balls or even the antiques forum cause they like old stuff .

    This is a forum for weather enthusiasts whom are bound to like weather extremes , to put it simply if you dont like what you see then dont come in here .

    Otherwise join in with the banter and drop the attitude :D

    It won't have to last long to kill any sheep or lambs up on the hills, but I accept your point.

    Well It's very nice outside now, moderate to heavy snow falling and sticking very well to grass and cars and now the tarmac is starting to accumulate as well:)
