I’m really sorry but the snow is my fault…

We put grass seeds down, talked about picnics and a visit to the beach when it gets warm.

Clearly we’re being punished for my transgressions.

It’s so cold my knee has started to hurt.

Has someone been drinking Pimms on the patio? Reckless fools!

heathspeedwell · 31/03/2022 16:35

I woke up this morning to blue skies and sunshine. I actually said, "Oh thank goodness the snow didn't come." Twenty minutes later on the dog walk we had sleet hitting us from all directions. Obviously all my fault.

No but we had lunch at the outside table of a cafe last week.
Dammitthisisshit · 31/03/2022 16:36

Also I made plans to meet a friend and eat lunch outside.

If it makes it atone for my sins we stuck to our plans and ate outside in the wind and snow.

Does no one ever think of the consequences of their actions these daysShock

RagingRagingAndMoreRaging · 31/03/2022 16:37

I can’t believe the recklessness. At least I did my bit and said to someone ‘enjoy it while it lasts, this might be summer.’ I can hold my head high. I did not cause this…

I did put some suncream on though…

I am Spartacus Grin and I bought a pedestal fan for the office Blush

TimBoothseyes · 31/03/2022 16:38

What snow?? Haven't had so much as a flake here. Flipping cold though so you're still getting the blame OP.

Thatsplentyjack · 31/03/2022 16:40

I power washed the slabs on Sunday, and talked about getting the cushions out for the garden seats....Sorry everyone.

Rosehugger · 31/03/2022 16:40

We get a false spring every year now then it's fucking cold for another month. Winter seems to go on forever Sad

Xiaoxiong · 31/03/2022 16:43

Don't worry OP, it's actually my fault. I'm about to visit family in a hot place and bought a pair of new sandals, which I incautiously wore out and about on the weekend.

I got my comeuppance walking the dog in swirling snow and biting arctic winds today.

IBelieveInBiology · 31/03/2022 16:43

OK, OK, we are where we are, no point in beating ourselves up any more; all we can do now is try to reverse it.

I bought a cashmere jumper and a pair of wellies today.
There... done my bit.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 31/03/2022 16:44

In Germany, it's illegal* to plant out seedlings before 1 May. Today's weather is why.

*ok, not literally, but almost

mbosnz · 31/03/2022 16:44

It's DH's fault. He's about to travel. I kid you not, it's a thing. Like, the Beast of the East? That was him. . .

MuchTooTired · 31/03/2022 16:45

I think it’s possibly my fault - we had half the garden cleared and grass seed put down. I also got so hot at the weekend I was painting outside wearing shorts and flip flops.

I’m sorry everyone, I shall continue hiding under my blanket to stay warm whilst muttering about the bloody snow killing the grass seed.

pointythings · 31/03/2022 16:46

Ha! I am innocent. Checked the forecast and kept the cardies and blanket front and centre.

LaLaKickSticks · 31/03/2022 16:48

No, it’s mine - I put my big coat in the wash and the universe has reacted to me taking the piss like that.

ickky · 31/03/2022 16:48

I specifically didn't put up my parasol just so this wouldn't happen.

Thanks a lot OP Angry

WildFlowerBees · 31/03/2022 16:49

I thinks it's mine. We bought a new bbq and a patio umbrella. Told dh it would rain afterwards. Sorry!

CoffeeBeansGalore · 31/03/2022 16:49

I would like to thank each and everyone of you. I live in rural NE Scotland. This freezing snap will knock out a breeding cycle of the little b%%^^d midgies this year so less of them in the summer!

And my dogs love snow 😁

This is a good way to proceed.

I’ve popped on my heavy cardigan and slippers and I’ll get some cocoa on

It's my fault. I cut the grass yesterday.

@RoonilWazlib21 just how powerful is this aircon? For God's sake turn it off! Turn it off!

OfstedOffred · 31/03/2022 16:53

We had a barbecue.

I know. I'm sorry. Blush
