The last couple of years our winter has been in March and April after an unexpectedly mild January and February.

I was sat in the garden late afternoon burning cardboard and it was freezing!

No it's cloudy and warmed up a bit.

Because I follow nature and the natural world fairly closely theres been a definite shift in the seasons over recent years.

I reckon we're about 6wks behind where we should be which is throwing off breeding seasons, pollination and plant life.

Obviously I'm not a scientist and that's only my own personal observation, in a very small area of the UK so probably a load of tosh [emoji16]

18 degrees forecast on Sunday here (south Manchester).

Have text the neighbour and we plan to lift a fence panel and have a chat whilst having a few drinks in our gardens.

Not tosh at all. This trend was noticed in the 90s and has continued. The seasons are shifting - and the 'holding' seasons of spring and autumn are also shortening, which adds to the instability factor.

Here it's April in a few days' time and yesterday we had more snow in a day than in the whole of January. It was mad. And overnight we're having -5 for several nights running. Not had that all winter. Oh and the clocks went forward at the weekend. It's very, very confusing for nature and wildlife.....

The changes have been sporadic since the 90s but it feels as though its settled into this new routine the last few years.

I'm noticing blossom appearing later, waterfowl breeding later and even the trees are leafing later.

My silver birch catkins are still brown and theres no sign of leaves yet.

At least you've acknowledged cloud seeding but deffo the wrong thread mate   

Shouldn't ' ve brought it up being honest but somethings that slight moment in decision making can sometimes lead me into my fuck it mode.

Whether or not it’s the right thread, Weather forecasting and weather modification are fascinating subjects. Saudi Arabia have been seeding for over a decade and they unintentionally caused floods in 2009.

I think it’s more that the transitional seasons, Spring and Autumn/Fall, are getting shorter rather than any shifting, which means winter and summer are longer. What do you think?

I don't know mate it seems we've shifted about 6wks ahead. 

The really cold stuff isn't January/February anymore, its more Feb/March and sometimes into April.  Summer is later now too where September/October is generally dryer, warmer and more settled than July/August.  November/December is warm and wet.

Like I said though, these are just my observations in my area.

It looks like social distancing will be tested this weekend.

There is a warm plume coming up from the south by Sunday, so I expect the usual places to look like a normal Bank Holiday.

Of course, people are getting cabin fever and need to get out, but I hope we all stay sensible.

Sitting in the garden getting pissed is our plan

[Statto Red]

The trees outside my flat have already started to flower, & forecast for Sunday is sunny & around 18C, Saturday is pretty decent too but a bit cooler.

Before I went shopping this morning I told Paul I was going to get absolutely rat arsed this weekend.

Hopefully I'll get into the supermarket tomorrow and if I do, hopefully there'll be something left worth getting pissed on [emoji23]

Oh, I don't know.

You could find yourself a nice little spec in the communal garden there. 

We've got a load of Guinness left over from Christmas, and it's been a very stressful time recently.

I think we might get hammered on Saturday night just for the hell of it.

With everyone walking by, we don't have a rear garden either, it's a concrete yard.

Mind you just been to my local Tesco Express & brought a crate of Budweiser[15, 330ml bottles for £10] & i have a couple of bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale in the fridge, i haven't been well this week but feeling a lot better today, apart from a chesty cough, although it's not a persistent cough.

Erm... can you distance your post from mine, please. Just in case. 


Maybe the garden looks bigger in the picture than it actually is. I thought there was enough room to keep well away from people passing by, going on the picture.

Anyway, I'm glad you are feeling better. If you sink a few beers over the weekend, do enjoy!

Cheers, think i just had a bit of a heavy cold again[i am a bit susceptible to colds], rather annoyingly it's played havoc with my sleeping pattern that now i'm awake all night.

The garden is a bit bigger in real life, but feels kind of uncomfortable with no privacy such as everyone being able to see you when they're walking past.

[Samie]

Yeah this weekend will be a big test, meant to be 20 or above degrees. You know fuckers will be out an about.

[John C]

Who was it that said they're lifting a fence panel up to get pissed with his neighbour on Sunday? Made me smile that, neighbour interaction is great, getting bladdered with your neighbour through a 2 meter gap in the fence is brilliant

We have a thunderstorm in Tallinn. It's midnight in April and there's hail and sleet and lightening and thunder and it's +2 and very, very windy and it feels like -5 outside.

Remind me why I am living here again?!

Yup - engaged to one - told her today that in these times of crisis the great NW philosopher Rick Astley has some sagely advice. I told her, "Narva gonna give you up!" She made me a nice apple Tartu as thanks.

Got half a bottle of Absolut, half a bottle of Jagermeister and about 3ltrs of Jack in the cupboard next to the sink, about 10 cans of Carlsberg and some bottles of Becks somewhere in the garage, a few bottles of red in the dish cupboard, a bottle of vodka and 2 or 3 bottles of gin in the wardrobe.

I think we might be OK

Although I'm up in Sefton, I saw the lightning flash. Mrs. Spion then messaged me to say it was overhead at Sefton Park. The Echo are saying the lightning struck the Lark Lane area.

Trust me to miss it.

You must have had it after us. It was here about 9pm in Chester.

It was a warm day and I suspected we might get the odd rumble of thunder once I saw the dark clouds gathering before dusk.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Saw a double flash and that was it, the thunder was unreal. As people said maybe it hit something and the sound was the thunder then the detonation.
