As Prince has already told us, 'sometimes it snows in April.'

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

ok, GFS extends to the th April. No sign of snow on that. Quite the opposite in fact pretty mild, sometimes actually quite warm and sunny by day. Watch out still for pesky night frosts this week.

I forecast a few days of gardening for me

What date is the 'th' of April? (How many beers did you have last night, OYBBK?!)
Actually, I forecast a few days of gardening for me as well! It'll be nice to start some seeds off.

my parents got married many moons ago on 17th april in east anglia and it snowed on their wedding day. Can remember snow on easter day a few years ago (in hampshire)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

[winterpetunia]

Ah, that th in April!

[pinkhebe]

we had light snow on the day ds was born (12th April) but it's not the kind that settles in April (She says confidently!)

[fluffles]

last year we had to rearrange our easter walk as too much snow up north so went to the ochils instead and STILL ended up thigh deep in snow!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

We did camping on the Isle of Wight a couple or so years ago at Easter and had snow. it was -2C and I wondered as I got ready for bed whether I might actually die of the cold.

Met check has calmed down a little today and just has low temp of 2/3 degrees for 2nd April here in East Anglia.
Met check does seem to veer towards the armagedon side of forecasting.
