| | | Snow to return
I was listening to the radio 4 weather tonight and the BBC are predicting a weather front coming from the Artic bringing sleet and snow for most of the country for early next week.
So just when we thought spring was here winter looks like it is to return. 
I wonder what kind of effect all this is going to have on the plants, animals and birds, given the mild weather we have had over the last few weeks must have convinced them that spring had come early  |

I'm going to miss the sunshine, I know that much. It's been gorgeous.
I don't think nature will be too adversely effected, although it may put back growth by a few weeks. |

Yes,I'd heard this too. And there we all were,thinking we'd turned the corner and spring had got to grips with the year.
Hope it doesn't last and all the newly emerged invertebrates/insects/ eggs and flowers make it through the cold period.

Enjoy it Boddie - tho sunday is supposed to be down to single figures maybe the snow won't reach this far south? We are off to the Cairngorms on Tues where there is definitely going to be snow - there were five foot drifts beside the mountain road there this time last year - sounds like it might be the same again! We shall wrap up warm and enjoy!

Earlier today BBC radio 5 news mentioned possible problems for butterflies caused by this cold snap. They didn't go into any detail.
It's not great timing after a nice warm and sunny few days. In the last couple of days, in particular, I've seen more insect activity.
It looks like frosts on Sunday and Monday night. The met office has severe weather warnings for Sunday and Monday (for snow). Met Office: UK: Severe weather warnings |
