    It's not that unusual. I remember the Friday week before the June bank holiday seeing snow sometime in the mid 1990's.

    This is the first year in the 10 years since we moved into house that I didn't bother topping up the oil after Xmas . No heating on is tough in this weather but I'm not risking having to bleed the boiler :D

    had a snow shower here about half an hour ago, the second snow shower Ive seen all year. This cold spell is tragic, what could have been if this was back in December/January.... to think that its colder now than it was all winter when we should be starting bbq's and garden beers, its really not right at all.
