I'll never forget one Saturday morning watching the usual matchday build up on Grandstand. At one point there'd be a weather forecast by the usual suspects. This time it was Rob McElwee, a renowned prankster. It was a steamingly humid day. He spoke a lot about the effects of it but then ended with the immortal classic, "Speaking of hot air then, back to Des in the Grandstand studio!"

Cue Des Lynam looking furious........ :lmao

18 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of a breeze. I sense the longest bike ride of the year so far. And no I'm not gloating - we've had a bitch of a winter here too. Don't worry though lads - This Too Shall Pass - and relatively quickly too. Spring will spring this week for you.

I usually have trouble with winter around February. The usual waves of depression, lack of motivation and general feeling like shit and being bored of the misery outside. But this year it has been non-stop miserable from mid-November until now. Clocks have turned and it barely made a dent. Been eating ungodly amounts of vitamin D just to get through the day. Yeah, it will turn.

But this winter can really go and fuck itself. 😁

I do a fair bit of walking with the dog, and I have noticed the trees have been really bare this winter and have barely started to recover. heavy rain this morning, then snow, then back to heavy rain. Miserable stuff.

Pissing down rain and about 5 degrees.  Supposed to be going to Alton Towers later this month.  This weather better get a sodding shift on.

Just looked at the two trees opposite our house and they are only just starting to bloom, they are usually full of blossom by now. I noticed a couple of years ago we were well into May before the leaves started to appear and I can see it being the same this year.

Had rain all morning with some sleet thrown in, awful weather.

It does seem to have been dragging on a long time, it's been cold, damp and miserable here since October which is more than half a bleeding year.    :butt

I was looking at my Garmin page earlier at my bike rides and a year ago yesterday (April 1st) I see I done a ride down to Durham Cathedral via a few other interesting places and back and I typed out that it was a glorious day, in fact for the 1st time in 5 months I was wearing vest teeshirt and shorts.  If I were to go out today I'd have 4 or maybe 5 layers on.

I live by the ground, the ice on the side streets is melting nicely, all going slushy. That is the main problem these day for calling of matches, fans safety in the surrounding areas of the ground etc.

No chance of this game being in danger of getting called off at this rate.

I reckon we'll hire 100 gritters if there's any doubts at all. Not tonight, this is one game that is not going to get postponed.  :)

Absolutely. Disliked them since growing up in South Wales during the miner's strike. It amazing that people from the South East don't understand why a lot of people here don't trust the Conservatives.

We got 6 inches of snow Monday night in Toronto, 70kph winds blew drifts 4 foot high in places. Literally had to shovel paths in the back yard as the dogs are very old and couldn't really get back to the surface once they went under  ;D. Then it turned deep freeze, its -21 C at the moment with a brisk wind on top of that, gusts to 60k.  The "wind chill" is -35. Thats actually dangerous.

Ya softies i swear to god.  +5 your forecast today. Spring, man. i can take the dustbins out in bare feet in that. I often do because one neighbor is from Haiti and the other from Honduras and they are softer than you lot, it freaks them out badly and never fails to make me laugh. Inside of course, im not evil or anything.

I guess 3 cm of snow and panic as usual? 25-30 cm of snow on the ground here in Eastern Sweden and -7°C in the air, set to drop to double-digits overnight. No big deal. That being said, only half of the town's artificial pitch has been shoveled. Too little budget to hire any more people for that third-tier club in a small town like this.

I can remember the call going out, and we all went down to clear the snow off the pitch and terraces after school. Must have been late sixties, I think we were playing Ferencvaros. Then we all had to queue up outside for two hours to get in.
