Been to pick my caravan up today so i got 2 days to clean it before our yearly trek Into Gloucestershire for the Wales v England 6 nations game, at 12.30pm the sun was out so decided to pressure wash anything i can dry by Friday.
My breathable ground sheet got muddy on our last outing in October (ffs i ain't used it in nearly 5 months not happy with that because winter never stops us)
Anyway i just blasted the one side of the ground sheet,turned it over and I'm now not only washing dirt away I'm washing snow off it too
Wtf is wrong with this weather? sunny one minute then snowing thick and fast, i hope it don't stick I'll never get the van back up the street.

I've even put off removing my Winter Tyres thus far
The other morning the dual carriageway I use was down to one lane because of about 30/40mm of snow (06:00am) and folk were trundling along the inside lane at about 35mph so I took the opportunity to 'test' the tyres and ventured over into the snow lane imagine, if you will, two shocked motorists in the inside lane as I went past them at 65MPH over the snow
Trouble was when I looked in my rear viewing looking glass there was a 'wall' of snow being kicked up behind me and all over these other motorists
A valid test though I thought and an opportunity I couldn't resist.

It's not just British weather, a couple of days ago it was 18-19 degrees here, then yesterday afternoon we had a thunderstorm, hail in the evening (I was panicking for a minute because there's a big pile of firewood in front of the shed but I decided to enjoy watching it bouncing off the Toyota instead). This morning it started off raining but it's turned to snow and it's zero degrees with the wind blowing the snow horizontally. The Pug's got it's MOT equivalent tomorrow (a huge wallet-emptying exercise including renewing the hugely expensive yet almost worthless insurance), I'd have liked to have pulled it out today but I've got nowhere safe to put it So I've had to satisfy myself with checking all the lights work and I've stuck the battery on charge 'cos it was a bit slow cranking over.
I dunno what it is with the weather but for the past few years spring (and autumn) seems to come in waves, a few days of warm weather and it's back to winter again

Yep your right it goes from one extreme to another, this morning the pug says -3 the sun is out and i got loads more pressure washing to do before the rain comes later.... just been out for the hose which is fecking frozen even though i made sure it was drained just in case i need it today.
This as it is now is the kind of winter/spring weather i love going away in, nice crisp dog walk once awake in the mornings so I'd be happy if it stays like this.
Forecast says NOOOOOOOO.

The weather up here is crap,its been pising it down all day
I was in Liverpool yesterday sun was cracking the flags over there
Came back and it was snowing,
Sunny today, but hidden by all the rain clouds.... don't get much snow in Bournemouth.
Must say its nice to leave the house at 6:15 in the morning and it being nearly daylight.
Pugs starting to struggle starting, probably just me draining the battery - also ruddy autolights were coming on at start-up not helping much.
