25th March - Today's News: Snowdrift Britain
Amazing scenes in parts of Britain over the weekend - needless to say not even any lying snow in Evesham! Though with a max of +0.9c yesterday was my coldest March day on record. Indications are that it'll remain cold with a further risk of snow in places through this week, and possibly some more widespread snow for some over Easter ....... Winter continues unabated. But I've a feeling when the weather does change we could see a shift to the opposite extreme. Heatwave on the way? We'll see!
