Thursday 5 March

Quite a nice afternoon, with some bright and (behind glass) warm sunshine. Weather conditions in southern England are described as atrocious, with lorries being abandoned in snow on the A37 road between Dorchester and Yeovil. Last night, we had a heavy fall of wet snow which melted within minutes of falling. It was carried along on a strong breeze, which made it stick to the windows for a little while. The strange thing is though, that the narcissi, crocuses and snowdrops are all out, and the wild roses up the road are sprouting leaves. Yep, it is March and spring isn't far off.

  1. All sorts of things starting to bud and shoot up here. We've not had too many warm days recently but that is about to change. It's going to soar up to 68 degrees for us today and the temps will be 60-70 for the next week. Rain coming too.
    Take care.
