Seasons

My birthday is St Swithin's Day....I know it was too hot to move in Cheshire on that day in '76. I also remember going to see the Halle Orchestra in Manchester that October. It was grey but warmish when we went in, but we came out three hours later to a couple of inches of snow!

76 was one of the hottest summers on record if I recall correctly but I do remember there was a couple of inches of hailstones on 31st May. My daughter was born on 8th June that year.

76 - the year of the drought and my best tomatoes ever - watered from the shared shower water

76 - the year of the drought & petrol ration books & the national 55mph speed limit also the year I attempted to patent a high speed cooling system all you need is :an open face crash helmet,a pair of cut-down Levi's,a motorcycle capable of doing the ton & a long straight dual carriageway not a public highway obviously

Snowed on 2 April 1998. The day we brought our first newborn daughter home from hospital. Was that nealrly 15 years ago.........he ho!

Ah, the summer of '76, I remember it well. Months of sunshine........... 1000's of ladybirds.....................or was that '75?

[veggiechicken]

Don't remember the ladybirds but the drought was "interesting" Don't think there were many slugs/snails because everywhere was so dry.

aaah the summer of 2 months ago when the temperatures were noticable when they dropped below 40deg C....

I was born at the very end of March in the 1950s in Barnsley, Yorkshire in, according to my mother, a snowstorm and I would say that in more years than not there has been snow on or after my birthday here in Yorkshire, even if only a small amount. It's looking likely again this year.

What happened to global warming??????

I've been waiting (in vain) for the mediterranean climate to spread north for these last few years.

Last year the weathermen tried to scare us to death predicting a terrible drought.

I now treat any long range weather forcasts in the same way I treat horoscopes; If it sounds good great otherwise ...............well just how gullible do you think I am?

KCN out playing in the snow about 10 mins ago

Just looking through some old photo's, we had lots of snow this time last year after the week of fantastic sunshine.
