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.

Billy! Hi! I’ve realised it was DEFINITELY me!! Taking off my gloves and bootees and going neoprene free on Friday has just scuppered spring!!!!

Sorry. Today is the 50th anniversary of my darling grandfathers death. I was joking with my husband last week that it wouldn't be like 31/03/1972, which was... freezing and snowy.

His name was Alfie, well Alfred when he was in trouble, BTW, if anyone wants to blame him. Smile

I'm personally blaming the woman I just saw wearing flip flops. It's freezing, we've had snow and hail. And she's in flip flops!

I thought i had posted and not reralised..

i bought and egg chair and plants and put my washing on the line after the sun came out.. it snowed iwthin ten minutes.

CaMePlaitPas · 31/03/2022 17:32

I got all my spring dresses out, ugh. Sorry.

underneaththeash · 31/03/2022 17:33

However, it's not settling down south as we bought new sledges at Christmas...

ladygindiva · 31/03/2022 17:34

Its my fault. I purchased sandals for myself and my kids last weekend ( nice boden ones if anyones interested) ...not that we will be wearing them any time soon.

Couchbettato · 31/03/2022 17:35

Actually it's my fault. I planted some vegetable saplings and was planning on transplanting them out into the garden.

I've postponed my plan to Saturday so I'm really sorry if it snows then as well, because it'll also still be my fault.

Daenerys77 · 31/03/2022 17:35

I put my heated duvet into storage and brought my summer duvet down from the loft.......Mea maxima culpa.

Justanotherobserver · 31/03/2022 17:35

Just bought new winter socks so it's definitely not my fault.

As for the rest of youse, I got properly blizzarded three times today!

Redlorryyellowlorryblue · 31/03/2022 17:36

I bought suncream yesterday. My apologies

FloralsForSpring · 31/03/2022 17:38

Oh FFS everyone!

VampireMoney · 31/03/2022 17:38

Oh I thought it was my fault. I potted a load of veg seeds in the sunshine last week and changed the 13.5t tog duvets for the 10.5 ones. I also wore my sandals in the garden. Sorry guys!

balalake · 31/03/2022 17:40

I accept your apologies, OP and others.

I think in part we should blame Henry Pelham, the Prime Minister who took out 11 days from the calendar. It would still technically be winter today had that not been the case.

AlwaysUtterChaos · 31/03/2022 17:44

I can't let you take the blame OP, it was me, I booked a camping trip for Easter on Saturday when it was hot 🤣

getmeouttahere2019 · 31/03/2022 17:46

I also washed my car on Wednesday so I am partly to blame also

Crimesean · 31/03/2022 17:47

@mbosnz

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. . .
The absolute cuntweasel! Angry

During the Beast from the East I got stuck for an hour at a rural train station in the driving snow, with 6-month-old DS howling at me.

Give him a kick in the fork from me Angry

Merryoldgoat · 31/03/2022 17:49

ICE CREAMS?!

Jesus I can’t believe this shit!

I claim November's snow as totally my fault. this time only a minor contribution planting out some hardy plants. It's a weird day. I had to strip off to shorts and t shirt layer as it was too hot in the flat as the sun came out. Earlier was in woollies and several layers.

Cornettoninja · 31/03/2022 17:50

@ReeseWitherfork

I’m disappointed in all of you. Everyone knows you don’t make direct eye contact with the nice weather, you don’t speak to it, you don’t acknowledge it.

It's now hailstones. The cat is peering out the window with a face of WTF, FIX THIS HUMAN

NannaKaren · 31/03/2022 17:57

I just kept telling anyone who’d listen that it would snow soon (this was last week in the balmy heat) …hate being right 😉
