Oh dear,Skotkat..how awful..I hope your poor plants will be ok..couldn't have come at a worse time for them..I saw the bad forecast for all of you living up there..so far,we have only had a small shower of rain,but it's cold here..expecting more later..maybe some snow on the hills..
stay warm and safe..and hope it goes as quickly as it came..

Yes, me too. 18 cm and still it falls .........

Take care Wilma

You too, Kath. Luckily, I do not have to go anywhere today, which is just as well because I couldn't if I wanted to!
Ah well, we had it good for a while there......

Great bonus for the ski resorts for Easter holidays! And, inside looking out from the warm, it does look stunning with every branch of every tree laden with snow.

We also have plenty, heavy wet stuff. There seems to be a small amount of damage to shrubs but not too much. Now that we have electricity again I have to go and cut down one Juniperous hibernica that has collapsed across the front gateway.

Heavy snow last night and still snowing. All daffodils are covered and strawberry plants as well. Tulips still doing OK though but not sure if my strawberry plants will survive in this snow.

Only to be expected really - schools broke up for Easter on Friday!

Oh, B, sad news about your Juniper. Our power was off, too, but not for long. The kids here have their sledges out again!
Sunny now, but only 2.6C outside.

It's you guys up in Scotland and the far North getting snow, saw it on the forecast last night. We've just had a 5 minute torrential downpour of hailstones, but that's it.

All we've had is a rather chilly wind and a short rain shower.
And a bit of sun for our new solar panels!!

Oh dear - I caught the tail end of the weather forecast for the south - seems we're to expect some snow, sleet, rain, hail - anything goes, overnight and during tomorrow. Lovely...

We got snow overnight forecast was spot on B.

It's so localised around me. Only a mile away there was a hail storm earlier today while I had about two minutes of light rain

Ours has arrived this morning,as predicted..looked out at 5am,and nothing,so thought it had missed us..not so ! started at 6am,and well covered now,and windy ..grr !

No snow here - about 2 hours of rain last night, spread out, sunny and bright from 7 a.m., but chilly.

We haven't any bad weather here in Leigh-on-Sea, we do seem to miss the worst of the bad weather here, hope I haven't spoken too soon though, weather is sunny & warmish but did have some rain in the night and guess what I left one of my water butts tap on open Grrr! Silly me :o))

Well, to my absolute disgust and disappointment, we've had about 3 spots of rain in the last 24 hours, and in the previous 24, 2 hours of intermittent light stuff. It's cloudy and chilly, but no rain...

Bamboo - that's three spots more than here

It's so annoying, Andrewr- I've just seen footage of a street in London proper today and it was absolutely chucking it down there.
-2 forecast for tonight here, had to plastic shroud my clematis Niobe which is in full bud...
