Snow - for some of the British Isles

[Phil]

No, south of England. Will be in Crawley mid to late April. No snow right? Right?!

Sorry to "snow" on your parade but the weather people here are forecasting snow until the end of April - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...s-8550900.html

Sigh. So I can expect much of the same as I would expect to encounter here in Halifax at that time of year. Good thing I'm working instead of playing.

Just hang on to these two observations. Spring in the South of England usually arrives three to four weeks ahead of the spring in the Highlands and quite often, after a late spring(which we have), spring can arrive at a bit of a rush. On the other hand, who knows whats coming after last years and this years, so far, dreadful weather?

You will be exceedingly unlucky if you have snow in Crawley at the end of April. Spring should well and truly have sprung by then although in Britain there is never any guarantees where weather is concerned.

The only thing you could say is that if isn't raining it soon will be.

I lived for some time in St. John's Newfoundland. Weather there is, ah, interesting for lack of a better word. Halifax is much better, spring will be here in April, but winter's grip is hard to loosen until May. What I'm saying is, I never look for guarantees. St. John's definitely taught me to plan for the worst, but knowing what the worst could be helps indeed!
