Warnings for today. Heavy snow for parts of Scotland and Heavy Rain/Gales for the middle part of the UK.

Was thinking this morning that it's like having 2 different seasons in the UK today ~ Winter for Scotland and Autumn for the south!

Thank you Petunia. Some of the gusts into todays gales could be storm force.

Hideously windy in Leicestershire.I got home to find a huge 3 x 5ft piece of wood had blown off our shed roof and landed in the garden.I'm going to drive down to pick the dds up from the school bus.I'm worried that some of the stuff flying about will clobber them.

Heavy wet snow here (Perthshire) ,bad enough for the snowplough to venture out. Windy gusts and it is so cold.

oh blimey. Sounds rough Mirage.

Hope the snow doesnt cause you too many issues GentleOtter.

Lovely down here, bit breezy - enough to make the fence wobble but it was sunny and 10C this afternoon so I could work in the garden for a bit.

Been keeping a watchful eye on mid-late next week. more and more runs are suggesting a return to widespread cold and snowy Hmm

Windy here today, in the playground the bins were blowing around and the kids were running around screaming "it's the end of the world". Hmm Grin

The rain only really got heavy as they were going in at the end of lunch time.

I got blown all the way home, and chickened out of going for my run because I didn't want to run into a headwind!

Interesting about potential snow, maybe I will getto use the snow shovels again!

As Mirage said, was very windy here in Leicester. Thought about putting the washing out to dry this morning but didn't know how much of it would be left on the line by this afternoon!

So could be more cold weather on the way, OYBBK?

winterpetunia,I had second thoughts about putting out washing too.DD1 had a riding lesson after school and the horses were behaving very skittishly and spooking at nothing.The owner said that it they'd been like it all weekend because of the wind.The dds have been squabbly too,more so than usual,I'm sure that it is the weather.

Hope we don't get snow this week,DD1 has a cross country competition on Friday.

Its next wednesday when GFS (at the moment!!!) shows the possibility of snow through the uk. There is no way I would try and give any details or probabilities at this stage, but I guess what I'm saying is don't get too adventerous with any early spring gardening before then. Tis still winter!

I'm so wanting to get out in the garden and start pruning and planting seeds, especially on days like today, where we've had sun with some warmth to it. But I know to wait as winter could come back anytime in the next few weeks!
