I was waiting for someone to pick up on that

The older Astronomical Spring starts around the 21st March. The much newer Meteorological Spring starts on the 1st March.

The Astronomical Spring starts with the Spring equinox which can vary by a little each year. This made it very hard for Meteorologists to compare seasons from one year to the next for record keeping etc. So they invented their own spring which starts at the same point each year on the 1st March.

I saw that.......avoided it thankfully. Sladburys lane really bad apparently and was cut off.

Hopefully the big thaw will start soon and we can get back to work!

No snow here apart from the remains of the sprinkling we had on Tuesday. Quite nippy though outdoors.

We have had to cancel our trip to Corton sadly due to this weather. Hope to rebook at a later date.We were going to have the boats BSS done.Marina spoke with Tim he had put all BSS on hold for a week.It seems it hard getting up and down the  hill at Brundall. Will be glad when it warms up a bit.

Walked in and out of work yesterday, about 30 minutes each way. So cold when I got home that I couldn't get warm. Today I took the car as the roads were a bit clearer ... until the snow came down again mid-morning. Apparently all the buses stopped running again at that point.

Anyway ... got home and found that our boiler has broken down and we can't get anyone out until next Wednesday. Fortunately we have a gas fire in the lounge and an immersion for the water so we'll be ok ... but I will feel much better once it warms up a bit. 

It could be worse ... my son is living in Edinburgh at the moment!!

Maids Head, Norwich on Wednesday morning. No buses, very few cars, only a few hardy pedestrians

Not seen snow like that for a while I imagine.

No wonder they call it Tombland!
