| | | Snow at Easter?
Wonder what the odds are? Looks a distinct possibility from the forecast. I remember a few snow showers during a previous Easter once when it was much later in the year. |

Well, I've just looked at the MET office forecast and it is predicting wintry showers over the Easter period - but this may just be over northerly hills!!!! Maybe I've a chance of some snow after all!

I remember having snow in the early morning of easter sunday, just west of Dartmoor high up on the cornish side of the tamar valley (and it was on the peaks in dartmoor) was a nice surprise |

It does look like an Easter cold spell is odds on now, but how it long it lasts and who will see snow is another matter. |

I do love snow and wintriness, but in season. I haven't seen a bumblebee yet and would rather see one than a snowflake at this time of year.

That was lucky - it was one of the few books that isn't in a box yet!! Bit of a boring saying really:
Easter in snow, Christmas in mud.
Christmas in snow, Easter in mud.
There's also another Easter related weather saying:
If it rains on Easter Day,
There shall be good grass but very bad hay.
(''which means a wet June'')

I remember snow at Easter. It must have been sometime between 1976-1978...while I was living in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
It was during the school holidays and it lasted for a good week or so, we built an igloo and a brilliant snowman which lasted even after all the other snow had gone.
There was tobogganing and a lot of other "messing around in snow" activities.... It was great! |

Just looks like more rain over the Easter period for me..but talking about snow when my parents first moved down to Wales a few good yrs ago now they had my sister kids to stay for the early part of may they were able to make a small snowman they took a pic of it and sent it to me.....but then my mum has realized that since living there you can get four seasons in a day...
