Thread Name: Snowing on Easter Sunday
Subject: RE: Snowing on Easter Sunday
Only a flurry or so, and nothing lying in the town (Whitby, N.Yorkshire) but the moors around us have had a fair dusting and I saw several snowmen near York. It has been damned windy for several days, northerly too, which means cold (by UK standards) Not boating weather at all, the swell has been flying over the bandstand when the tide was full, and the little white horses extend right upriver into the upper harbour.

In northern UK we get Easter snow often enough, I have certainly camped in the Pennines amid snowdrifts at Easter. I am less certain about why I did so, but put it down to the foolishness of youth.
