First day of Spring and yes it’s snowing!
Wednesday (March 20), astronomical winter ends as spring officially begins in Earth’s northern hemisphere today, so why does it still feel like winter ?
Met Office Highlights – March 2012
England diary of highlights
The month was largely dry and settled, with some very high temperatures for the time of year during the last ten days. Rainfall was mostly scarce, and there were several consecutive sunny days late in the month.
The mean temperature was 1.9 °C above the 1981-2010 average; this was the 3rd warmest March in a series since 1910. It was much drier than normal across most of England, with less than half of the average rainfall amount, but not as dry as March 2011. It was a sunny month for most, and the sunniest March since 1929
Let’s hope it warms up from here.
