I do remember snow one day in May, back in the 60s. It didn't stay on the ground, but it came down like a blizzard. The previous week we were sunbathing on the beach lol

Just reading our local paper..and on this date,in 1955,a freak snowstorm left up to 4" snow on the Pennines above Huddersfield,with snowdrifts up to 2ft deep at Holme Moss ,the latter being the highest point before Derbyshire...!
...and we are having another Hailstorm as I type ! :o(((

Thank you everyone! There I was gagging at the starting post trowel in hand ten o clock this morning;Guess what happened next? Rain rain then hailstones! On my day off too .. mouth droops... Read about IceAge plants can you believe it? Seeds survived in fossilised mammals for 30000 years and then sprouted Gardening can be a slow business!!!.I like your Arctic plants Terra!
