| | | First day of Spring
Hi folks
Correct me if I am wrong but today 20th March is officially the first day of Spring. Sure doesn't feel like it where I live, North East Lincolnshire. It's cloudy with an east to north east wind blowing and the temperature is around 6 degrees C. Brrr!!
What's it like where anyone else is.

I reckon that is why we're having all this dull cloudy weather. An Ice Age should bring clear skies so that any heat goes straight into the atmosphere.

And as you're barely a county away from me, should be able to spare me a drop of sunshine  |

Will you all stop buying new cameras please then we may get some decent weather. Besides, you are making me jealous of all that new equipment.

Don't know what your all moaning about, we've still got snow from two weeks ago and more forecast. Even the daffodils are hardly showing, and its dam cold.
Talk about North south divide!!!!
