WINTRY April showers left part of this weekend’s Tour de Yorkshire route under several inches of snow this morning.

The moorland roads between Castleton and Rosedale in the North York Moors were covered as temperatures plummeted to 1 degree.

Dark cloud just rolled over with snow falling out of it here. Nothing settling

Yeah we just had a five minute snowstorm here

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4378 on:** 26 April, 2016, 03:23:42 pm »

We had another hail storm, a proper one. Must have escaped Jaded!

Probably not. It came through here as well.

Bugger - slick tyres and three quarters, this could be fun.

Edit; took the lights off this morning

Fluffy hail here in SW London this afternoon, very briefly. I wouldn't quite call it snow, but it wasn't far off.

It must be nearly time to go home. It's snowing!

Gus · « **Reply #4383 on:** 26 April, 2016, 05:17:52 pm »

It seems to be the same in UK.

Tour of Yorkshire this week, I have been looking forward to this, we have a week off and looking forward to, well, a spot of sunshine, Hah, the sky is battleship grey and a North Easterly wind is throwing hard white stuff at us.

It was snowing around Sutton Bank at 7a.m. today.
The cloud tends to hang around the edge of the Moors.

Snow in London ... and TfL was handing out bottles of water at Bond Street Station this evening.

A few flurries here on the south coast but nothing that stayed for more than a minute once on the ground.

Big snowflakes coming down here. Last night we had some sort of weird snow/hail hybrid, too.

hatler · « **Reply #4389 on:** 28 April, 2016, 11:44:18 am »

Slail, or sneet I would imagine.

Si S · « **Reply #4390 on:** 28 April, 2016, 01:09:36 pm »

You'd have probably noticed snails

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #4391 on:** 28 April, 2016, 02:15:26 pm »

You might expect that in Egypt, just after the frogs and the water turning to blood.

woollypigs · « **Reply #4392 on:** 28 April, 2016, 06:47:55 pm »

Well we have clearly fecked up the weather ...

Woke up to sun and -1c now it is snowing and +5c, eh?!?

Canardly · « **Reply #4393 on:** 28 April, 2016, 08:35:33 pm »

For those that can remember we once had snow in June. And then a blazing hot long summer followed.

There were gritting lorries on the M2 last night.

For info, here are the summaries of the past 6 Aprils in Southend:-

HEAT COOL AVG MEAN DEG DEG WIND DOM YEAR TEMP HIGH TIME LOW TIME DAYS DAYS RAIN SPEED HIGH TIME DIR 2011 13.3 26.1 23 5.5 11 242.3 0.0 4.1 4.8 37.0 30 NE 2012 9.0 17.4 2 -0.7 6 478.1 0.0 82.9 6.0 46.7 26 SW 2013 8.5 23.6 25 -1.3 7 509.5 0.0 27.0 6.7 46.7 18 NE 2014 11.9 20.6 1 3.0 15 323.8 0.0 34.0 4.6 35.4 8 SW 2015 10.2 26.8 15 2.7 7 419.2 0.0 15.6 5.2 41.8 1 ENE 2016 9.2 17.7 19 1.4 1 429.7 0.0 44.6 4.7 38.6 6 SW

So 2012 and 2013 were colder. I think this is probably the coldest last week in April I have recorded.

Has 2 inches of snow tonight. Spring has sprung (a leak).

4th June 1974? I woke up shivering, got up to shut my bedroom window, & saw the Chiltern hills gleaming white in the early morning sunshine. Went back to sleep, & woke up a couple of hours later to go to school, wondering if it had been a dream. Snow had gone. Switched on the radio & they were reporting it on the news, so it was obviously true.

Yesterday I was cycling in short sleeves in Catalonia. Today I am in Edinburgh. Snow.

I am SERIOUSLY not impressed.

So it's all your fault!

You and that Tiermat . . .

It's not even vaguely amusing anymore, I'm knackered
