It's snowing again...

In Suffolk, look this night there is snow watch posted and last two days have been snowing in Wales at nights, also temps below 0C :

I guess you are having rather chilly weather conditions then?

Here whole week +30C or more, no clouds, just shine, nice for day or two, but for a week, well it has several sides :roll:

This seem to reveal that it is some sort of mountain thing:

I don't know where this place is exactly, but I saw there was -1C last night (can't open page right now, worked last evening):

Rememember to pack snow chain and warm clothing if travelling there, at least that has been case by forecasts :D

We have now heavy thunderstorms here, gusts so strong that trees are falling down.

Ah I used to go there quite a bit when I was younger. It's near snowdonia which is pretty high but maybe they had a freak weather front or something?

We got sudden climate change, temperatures dropped 22 degrees Celsius from yesterday, that is sea climate ruling now, yesterday we had dry land climate, or whatever that is called, but as two different types of climates meet at our country changes can be rather dramatic, now +8C, yesterday bit over +30C from cloudless sky until thunder came, now enjoying from piss poor rainy weather from north sea or at least from there abouts, where this kind of weather is formed. Last weeks weather came from black sea, as you know there weather can be rather warm, I remember seeing readings of +50C from shore of black sea being as record.
