To hate this old weather ?

[TakeawayAugust]

Having this cold snap in March is really miserable and sucks

Very normal weather and temperatures for March! March is cold in the UK. Had a lovely weekend here, sunny and dry.

Been lovely March where I am so far. Yes a bit chilly in the morning, but glorious during the day. Lovely to see all the daffodils.

It has been here as well, but we have had several days of frost and single figures now.

Never cast a cloot till May is oot

At least you're not in Finland, where the weather has been jumping from +5 to -15, from bright sunshine to heavy snow, and its driving me insane, can be freezing in the morning and too hot in the afternoon so picking the right clothing is hard. Just pick a season, not going back and forth between winter and spring! (I'd prefer it to stay winter for now)

Don’t be daft - it snows one March in three on average and icy weather is perfectly normal. It’s not been particularly cold for March. Haven’t you heard of “in like a lion, out like a lamb”?

Where do you live to have bbqs in March?!

March is a transition month, so you can get properly cold weather (Beast from the East in 2018 stretched into the start of March), and milder more pleasant springlike days, but to have typical bbq weather would be very rare! Statistically it’s only 2 or 3 degrees warmer than January, though the strengthening sun makes it feel more pleasant (when the sun’s out).

It helps me pretend that climste change isn't happening...i like it!

Like most people I suspect, I know what that phrase means, without knowing what it means, (if that makes sense)…

Never cast a cloot till May is oot

It makes no sense because it's only been partially translated from Scots to maintain the rhyme. It should be 'ne'er cast a cloot afore may is oot' which in English would be 'never remove any clothes before may is out'. The closest word in English to cloot would be cloth so e.g. you'd wash your dishes with a dish cloot.

Opinions vary on if it means the flower or the month but since the hawthorne flowers around May (and later in Scotland) it doesn't really matter.

And even then June can be dodgy!

It is still Winter. Spring begins on Thursday this week.

The sun is warm here, but the wind is strong and a little cold.

'It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade'. Dickens 1861

Where are you OP? I'm in the SE and it's mostly been really nice recently. Today is grey, but the rest of the week is due to be sunny. I appreciate that those in north and west didn't get that beautiful 10-day stretch of sun that we did though.

Nor me! My birthday is in late March and I've known it to snow before now! Sometimes mild and sunny, but rarely warm.
The days this week are mostly sunny and mild.

We actulayy did this time in Yorkshire, but it was colder than the south east. We did manage 16 degrees last weekend though, then the temperatures plummeted to frosts and maximums of 6 degrees.

Yer just a big Jessie. We've been in shorts since Feb. My teens apparently don't wear coats as they a proper northern

7 years ago we were under 6 inches of snow this time in March!

It's rarely warm in March, but quite often dry

Are you all postmen/women? 😁

I've heard that said about April. We still often get frosts in April
