View Full Version : Crap Weather For March
unlike title its coldish but very sunny.. 5/6c not much breeze either. roads are still fairly damp tho.
very sunny here too, and mild.
Not crap weather for March. It's rare we even see the sun here until sometime in April. Around Easter usually, then it disappears again until July.
7c overcast and showers. That's crap.

Not crap here. After a frosty start we had blue sky all day. And actually felt quite warm in the sunshine. No doubt we'll be back to normal tomorrow.
A few clouds, a bit of wind and 18c, not too crap :)

A sunny 2C at moment, with expected high of 7C. At least it's not peeing down, which is nice as I'm off to fit a new bathroom window for my unwell brother - he's currently recovering from all the shit that cancer treatments put you through. I don't expect having a nicer window to look at while having a dump will be high on his list though. :(
Frost here this morning, sky is totally clear.

1C here very chilly. About as cold as it has been all winter, but it turns mild tomorrow.
About 3c, but still feels ok inside without heating on or fire lit. Not been cold enough to put the heating on all year, if anyone complains and they haven’t got 3 layers on they get short shrift from me! :lol:

The birds are acting weird, there are hundreds of blackbirds and seagulls milling about.

Don't normally see blackbirds gathering together, so that is weird. Normally it would be scavenging birds like gulls and crows, attracted by a lucrative food source.
We seem to have a lot of magpies up here, bloody things are everywhere. Not good for garden birds.

No weather right now but just checked to see what's coming and it turns out the heavy rain will be along shortly.
The flood at the end of the street has completely dried up, so it's overdue.
my pond down rd has eased back from the ditch at roadside fortunately. another day or 2 at time of rain and it might have breached.
A couple of weeks back ours was right across the road, almost got to the point where it was a proper water splash. Been unusually dry the past fortnight though. The other day it was down to just a small puddle and yesterday it was totally gone, which is very rare event.

It was actually quite bright here today - but it's still been pretty cool.
I don't think global warming is going to reach these parts for quite a long while.
I just made the connection - the sun today probably indicates relatively little cloud, so now it's going dark we should be able (a fairly rare occurrence) to see stars.
Went out to check - and indeed some are twinkling away. So what heat we have is being sent off into the infinite void! No clouds to keep the heat in.
Starting with clear skies again, hopefully today it will stay that way, 15c at the moment.
Been peeing down with rain for most of the day. However tomorrow should be fine.

a mix of sunny spells and then cloud and rain. springy.. 6c currently
A bit of Saharan sand on my car this morning after a wet day yesterday.
Today, absolutely delightful. Calm, blue skies, 11c at the moment and saw a butterfly on my dog walk (didn't have my glasses on but thought it could be a Red Admiral):)
sunny here but there's a nip in the air.

Its cold and it's been very windy. Also just rained, which is a bummer as washing went out on the line to dry!
Starting the day with blue skies, so will probably be cloudy this afternoon again, only 13c today though, autumns on its way.

Currently sunny 15C here, that's just about biking weather. Coincidentally, renewal notice from Bennetts for the FireBlade landed today - £150, which is £17 cheaper than last year :) I might just let it automatically renew this year, instead of shopping around. Then go play out Sunday, if good weather lasts till then.

been a bit crap here, sun was gone by 1000 and it's quite cold. Had to walk to the 'University Quarter' to post a parcel as our post office was closed for no reason.
Thousands of bloody students. Still as poxy as ever.
waited in the queue a while, the bird behind the counter is the same 'dead slow and stop' one that works in our office (when they can be bothered to open). Don't know what's going on there unless she has a twin.
Nearly at the front and the bird before me wants to send a parcel. Thought that was bad as it takes them ages to do it but then I see she's got this massive bag at her feet full of parcels, she's actually sending nine not one. Thankfully before I could embark on a killing spree they opened another window.

I think post offices have mostly improved (our local one is attached to a Spar shop and is usually adequately staffed). Sounds like the memo sent to your branch telling them to get a grip got lost in the post.
My (then) local post office in Leyland could have been a contender for Britain's Worst. It had two counters, but I never saw both open. Counter one was manned by a bloke who seemed to be in charge ( though there was no one else), and like your bird only had two speeds.
Wintertime was worst - no heating in the place, just a two-bar electric fire (one bar on) next to him on the other side of the perspex. To help keep the heat in, the other counter was closed off with a torn off piece of cardboard which in a previously life probably contained biscuits as it said "cVities ich Tea" on the side.
If I went in and there was more than one person in the queue I'd turn and leave as I only got an hour for lunch. And this is where I came to return my unwanted "Record of the Month" items from Britannia Music - probably explains why I have so many Phil Collins and Eurythmics records in my collection.
There's always a queue at the post offices here, if I walked out then I'd never post anything.
Used to be a big post office here with about 8 windows, always be a queue at them all but the staff were efficient so you wouldn't wait long.
Then they moved to a much smaller place round the corner, 3 windows but the staff were old ladies and were still efficient.
Then they moved to an even smaller place with 2 windows with this idle young bint running the show and - if it's actually open - the queue always runs out the door and down the street. She moves like she's in slow-motion. I wouldn't mind but she's been doing it for years. You do the same routine tasks over time you get faster and faster at doing them, at least that's how it works for normal people. With her it's like it's her first day every day.
I'd say it takes her at least 5 minutes to process one parcel - type in the address, print the sticker, put it on the parcel, take payment. Shouldn't take more than two minutes.
She needs time and motion, or a good kick up the arse.

Must admit that hat does look good, but I'm more concerned about keeping the sun off than the rain, so something light and light-coloured would be more suitable.
yeah its a big brim and keeps water and sun off and is hardwearing too.

Very sunny here at present. Probably around 7C, rising to something warmer by mid afternoon.
Have I balls! It's only about 2 years since I first considered getting one, and I can't remember which type you had bought and recommended. Was it this one?

13C here supposed to get up to 15 later. Bright but very hazy.
Now on British Summer Time, my watch shows the right time again after 5 months of being an hour fast.
Even better it gets light an hour later so I didn't wake up at stupid o'clock like yesterday, managed to get a full ten hours of kip.

My van clock is the opposite, it will be an hour slow till the autumn.

Sunny and mild here today, not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Still 14C now. Maybe the crap weather will start tomorrow.

We had a bit of sun here, even next door's cat was out in it. It's crackers, gets scared by a bit of a breeze and runs back in.

7C, damp and murky, looks like we had rain overnight. Set to get colder apparently.

The wind and rain woke me up this morning, and it feels pretty cold out there. Think I'll stay home today. We'd started watching a Netflix series ('Pieces of Her'), and it's pretty good. So we'll binge-watch that. Or we can play my records, her choice :)
bit dull here but no wind or rain yet. Rain due to start at 1000 and continue for 12 hours.
cloud and cold. has been wet overnight. 2c
snowing here now...some change:doh:
Drizzle here. Got to get used to it still being broad daylight at this time of day even when it's miserable out.

Snowing a bit here. No need for me to leave the house for a day or two, so that's ok.

A really sharp frost on the cars this morning, worst we've had all winter. Currently 1c.
we had snow here overnight, just a dusting but even so still a bit of a surprise when I opened the curtains.

I do feel sorry for the people who live where this weather is coming from.

well wind is from the north so that would be the eskimos I suppose. They're used to it.

Well they've had thousands of years to move south and haven't bothered, so they must be ok with it. No good for me though - I've never seen an igloo with energy efficient windows and doors, so I'd be out of a job. And I bet they don't have carpets either, just lino.
Lino is back in now.
I bet it's like these Amazon tribes where it all looks authentic but then you go in the hut and they've got a fridge-freezer and cable telly.

Now that I could live with, you could always have air con too. But igloos? No thanks. Imagine trying to heat one, you'd be constantly mopping :( All things considered, we do ok in Britain.
here is how an igloo works... its smarter than you'd think. not daft those escimo's.

All this means it can be as cold as minus fifty degrees Fahrenheit outdoors but as cosy as 19 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit indoors,
61F is bloody cold and that's the maximum? Count me out.
Although thinking about it, that's still warmer than it is in my bathroom right now. Maybe I should replace the bathroom with an igloo?
minus 50 f is -45c, so im betting +61f is like the carribean:D mind you you do need to know what your doing.. a swiss guy and his kid built one and it collapsed on them, killing the boy.

So the igloo just keeps you from dying of hypothermia. You'd have to keep all those furs on inside too and then when you have to go out you won't feel the benefit.

61f isnt bad really. you certainly wont need all the furs. maybe one layer more than in your house tho lol. its about 16c

Brilliant - I would never have thought about the different levels, pure genius (or lots of trial and error :))

im guessing some eskimo built one on a slope once, and noticed things were different.. then took the idea further. its usually the way things happen. do it then work out why it works

Very gusty now, half the sky has gone black and it's started snowing. The sun is still shining though.

yes my mother too, and my nan was even worse. Pretty much everything she ever uttered was a dire warning of the consequences of doing things most people wouldn't think twice about. Stroking a dog, buying ice cream from a van, kneeling on the bus seat - you get the picture.
According to my grandad I was 'a perisher' and in that respect I took after my uncle John. (Never met him, they both had about a dozen brothers and sisters each, most of whom were long dead before I was even born. My mother is always telling me 'You remember uncle so and so!'. No I don't, he died in 1949).

Well tomorrow is day three of the 3-day break I've given myself, and the first day where I won't have anything that needs doing. Also going to be pretty cold again, so I will probably start the day with John Steed and Emma again. Unless Mrs. P ruins it by remembering something else that needs doing.
Don't expect any of you lazy buggers to be up, so I'll start off talking to myself on here.

I'll be up. I usually watch it when it's on again in the afternoon but they're showing the snooker instead at the moment.

Dunno about anybody else, but I'm usually up around 6.45am but sometimes get up earlier. I was late today at 7.15.
I get up when I wake up, can't do the laying in bed thing. I normally turn the alarm clock off before it bleeps at its set time of 7.10, don't really need it.
-2c this morning but starting to get a lot of sun so should get rid of jack frost. i have a couple of alarms on my phone but im usually awake before they go off. woke at 7.40 today.
I have the alarm set to 0830 but am usually up by about 0730 (except in the depths of winter when it's dark until 0800) as the daylight always wakes me up.
For some reason it's almost always bright in the mornings round here, then it clouds over by about 0930.
I think in the last year the alarm has woken me up once.
Sunny here this morning but only 1C.
