It doesn’t matter where you start. Just start.
On Friday I noticed them cutting the square on Llandysul cricket pitch. Today I arrive in Brum to find my front garden (north facing) still full of snow. Thank god I'll only be here for two days.
If you get your roller out you can turn it into a skating rink.
The mean temperature for March ended up at 3.6°C. I saw lots of Met Office reports reckoning it would be the coldest March since 1962, when the national mean was 2.8°C, but I haven't heard what the national mean was this March.

Is there no bloody end to this?

On 4–5 March came heavy snow which left drifts across much of the country with some lying 7 metres (23 ft) deep in the Scottish Highlands.[4] On 5 March one of the worst British blizzards of the 20th century occurred.[5] Food supplies were again affected by the snow-bound roads and in some places the police requested permission to break into delivery lorries stranded by the snow.[5]On 10 March milder air of 7–10 °C began to move north across the country from the south west, rapidly thawing the snow lying on low ground.[4] After such a long frost the ground stayed frozen, causing much surface run off which resulted in widespread flooding. Further heavy snowfalls occurred as the milder air pushed northwards. On 14 March the deepest ever recorded depth of snow lying in an inhabited location was measured at Forest in Teesdale in County Durham at 83" or 211cm. On 15 March a deepening depression moved in from the Atlantic, bringing heavy rain and gales.[4] It was the start of the wettest March for 300 years.
