Snow in the middle of March!!!

I was considering that show, its only 20 mins drive away for me, but I don't think I will bother. As well as the entrance fee, you've also got to pay the extortionate airport parking fees as well I believe. As you say I think the turn out will be effected quite badly by the weather even though where I live in Manchester there's no snow whatsoever.

Only a few miles south of Manchester in the High Peak here. Quite a bit of snow first thing this morning, but that almost completely melted as the snow turned to rain this afternoon. Now snowing again and there's a fair bit on the ground now and the forecast is for almost continuous snow overnight and tomorrow into the afternoon.

Undecided if to go to the hi-fi show tomorrow - think I'll play it by ear and may leave it until Sunday if its bad tomorrow morning. I'll be going by bus, so no parking fees to worry about

Heading our way, apparently. Love it normally, but bored of winter now and don't want the roads to be rubbish tomorrow as a few of us are off down to London for the Tina Dico gig.

you still got the Landy for such occasions ?

There's a good covering of the stuff here, I'm only 30 miles away from the Manchester show but I think I'm gonna give it a miss, unless things improve by Sunday. I was going to tax the Ducati in April but I'm having second thoughts on that too

Maggie has sadly moved to "project" status after her last MOT! Still, there's more of an adventure spirit using my 300C - never knowing if you'll arrive at a junction facing forwards or backwards in the snow adds to the fun!

Just north of Manchester, albeit at 1000ft, snowing like fook here and blowing a blizzard, no going out till work on Monday if then!

Lots of snow here and lots of power cuts, power fluctuations so the gear is all switched off. Its not that unusual to get snow in March heck it can even happen in April and early May as well.

There have been no flights in or out of Belfast today and if I was going to the show - when it was in London I would have been flying out tonight to have two days at it - but if I had been today, nope no flights. Just as well I decided not to bother.

Nightmare, Neil. No power cuts here, thank goodness. I've not experienced a power cut since the 1970s, while living in Glasgow.

Is it normal to have snow in March in Belfast? This is the first time, since I moved down from Glasgow, that we've had snow in Wrexham at nearly the end of March!

Last year, at not far off of this time, we were eating our lunches outside in the garden.... Dunno when that will be happening this year!

Its not that unusual to have a wee bit of snow in March later is not unheard of but its rare.

All of Belfast was without power earlier tonight but thankfully its back on. This storm is hitting here quite badly.

Last March was unusual I think.
