Accurate prediction, Ian.
The cold frames on the garage roof, this morning. The glass on top usually prevents rain or snow getting inside, the sides are open for ventilation. The wind with the snow yesterday and last night seems to have deposited a fair bit of snow on the plants inside. Mainly Opuntias/Tephrocacti, Echinocerei and some small Agaves.

There's a certain déjà vu feeling: this was March 1st, according to the Met Office the first day of spring.

The clocks go forward next week, so it'll be British Summertime then. Any further weather predictions, Ian?

Looking at the Jet Stream forecast we are going to be under a blocking pattern for the rest of March, weather doesn't look good if the JS forecast is correct.

I thought we had Spring on Friday!

Winter came back with a vengeance over the weekend to prove me wrong!
