Interesting video from a contemporary broadcast meteorologist - is spring here?

Mild down here, but, of course, spring moves north pretty slowly.

Actually, Johnny, your comment provides me with a reminder to provide advanced warning of a possible deep Atlantic low next Thursday, which appears at present to cross the Hebrides and far north of Scotland - with the strongest winds in such systems usually on the southern flank, it could mean that the Central Belt and Highlands may well get some strong winds and heavy rain, however, this is subject to change. Very mild in the south on Monday and Tuesday, though - 17C is possible, with lower teens further north.

Looking pretty springy at Chateaux Undolpho
The hedge in the background now has a drift of Snowdrops in front of it.
My brother is an apiarist and when I saw him at the weekend was telling me about his bees being out and about and collecting pollen, he was surprised as there appeared to be a fair few recent hatchlings amongst them.

Just as Mrs. Radcliffe imagined it !

It used to be gloomy and more forbidding till I cleared the top plantation...

I envy the amount of land you've got there...
Anyway, Wednesday seems as though it's going to be pretty windy for the Northern Isles abs far north and north-east of the Scottish mainland, with Thursday bringing strong winds somewhere further south (I'd advise following forecasts vans the Met Office warnings page (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/) for further details).

Just got a rake of alerts for Thursday - high winds, rain and snow. Will it be exciting or a damp squib?

Just a quick point regarding Thursday for Scotland - as the strongest winds wrap around the southern flank of the low (affecting mainly the central section of the UK), cold air could be drawn down from further north, giving snow on the northern flank of the low. At present, this may well affect Scotland anywhere away from the Borders, though, as usual with snow events this late in the season, altitude will make a significant difference.

Could be quite windy and wet, Colum, though I suspect not snowy in West Yorkshire. Could be some sleet if precipitation is heavy enough, as it can temporarily drag colder air from higher-up down to near ground level.

Yeah hoping for snow rather than expecting it; Westerly winds will be the killer at my gaff. Still working on the landlady to repair the roof, be a while I would think.

Surely the prospect of losing part of the roof of a property you rent out must be a motivating factor to spend some money on maintenance, even for someone from Yorkshire?

You'd have thought so but she's pretty random, in three months time I'll come home and find it covered in roofers and scaffolding...
