GONNA BE A COLD NIGHT

chilly night to come just been out put a heater in the poly tunnel loads of seedlings to protect weather man said expect frost even mentioned snow for easter crazy weather patterns

 

Yep, I brought all my seedlings in from the blowaway greenhouse just as a precaution. It felt quite dramatic, like an evacuation

Snow at easter is not unusual. Especially at the foot of the penines, such as in Sheffield I lived for 10 years in the Don valley and it could be like the med, or siberia, depending on which way the wind blew.

The one and only time in my life I've become poorly with actual genuine hypothermia, was in fact as late as May. I'd gone out clubbing dressed for summer, and when I came out at the end of the night it was hailstoning and gale force wind carrying sea fret (this wasn't in Sheffield obviously).

Got pelted with hailstones once in midsummer while riding my bike around Ladybower reservoir. Had to hide under a tree until it passed and it was red hot again.

 

Not here it's not, cloud cover and 9C now at 11.40pm.
