Can't believe it - we actually had snow this morning and quite a lot of it
for about ten minutes. It's gone now and none of it lay on the ground, the
sun is shining and comparative normality is restored. But apparently, up on
the moor children are playing snowballs!

Here it may be the heaviest snowfall of the winter; it looks as if
there's over an inch on north facing roofs on the other side of the
street - but it's already gone from south and east facing roofs.

You can blame anything on Global Warming these days. It's the latest 'Buzz
Expression' and many idiots will believe it :-((

There is no such thing as global warming and the weather today is no
different to the weather of around 100 years ago for this time of year.

Started here about 7am. Laid on gardens etc, but not roads. Stopped at 1pm,
and started again about 3pm. Still coming down, but not laying. I wonder
what tonight will bring?

We've had little flurries of snow all day but no snow lying. It's been
bright and sunny most of the time and we have seen snow while the sun is
shining.

So glad that I am not the only one who appreciates that the Ice Age is still

We still have heavy hail storms in August, but nothing like the one in
July 1959
in the Thames Valley.

The Summer of 1959 was a scorcher. Forgot what they blamed it on, "Global
Warming" wasn't a buzz word then, nor was it in 1976 another scorcher as
well

Considering all the other places that lay claim to that title -
Galloway, Clyde Coast, Oban, North Berwick, Fife (south coast?), Moray
Firth Coast - why not Perth as well?

There was a tiny bit in the morning, but it was gone by
lunchtime. I was foolish and neglected to check the
forecast, and on the strength of the warm weather of the
previous day I transferred my tomato seedlings (sowed ten,
got three; see other thread) from the conservatory to the
greenhouse, and lost one to the cold.

No, I'm in Craigie (Perth, not Dundee), and we only had a
