Yep, the vernal equinox is upon us, and what does the good ol' British weather have for the next few days? Gales and heavy, possibly drifting snow in the south, gradually heading north. They gave out -7C in the Bristol area when the wind chill was taken into consideration. This is going to be more or less in my area tomorrow, I think. Hopefully it will at least have blown itself out. We are very low here, so we don't get the same amount of snow as they do 20 miles west of us, where it's higher up and hilly. Those who don't get snow are still going to get sub-zero temperatures at night. We had better get a decent summer this year.

And there I was, thinking that if it kept fine and dry this week I might take the first cut off my little patch of lawn, as it's looking more and more lumpy and bumpy. Hopefully if some of the snails have woken up the bad weather might kill them.
