Snow in spring?

March 24, 2013 3:00pm CST
Wow, it seems like the UK seasons are changing. March isn't like spring anymore but it's still like Winter. It seems like summer will never come at the moment. Instead it's like the Ice Queen has come and taken over. Does anyone know what causes this type of weather in spring? What do you think it could be? Usually spring weather has a bit of sun and some rain. Its warmer than winter. I have never seen snow in spring that I remember. Has anyone else ever seen snow in spring and had cold weather when it should have warmed up by now? I hope this doesn't continue in April cos the cold is getting annoying.

Yes, I would like a bit of warmth. I have a really cold room at home as well. Hopefully it will end soon. This snow is making me think about that film, The Day After Tomorrow for some reason.

well, recently this kind of changing happens in many part of the world. some countries had the most cold winter in record of 50 years or above. some places is getting opposite year by year, I mean, the side which is warm , in the winter is getting colder and the side which is cold year by year is becoming warmer. I do not know what is the reason except some changing in the world.

I guess it's deciding to change for a reason. Some may say it's related with global warming. Too many carbon emissions, etc. Who knows?

When I lived in Kent we had snow in some winters and in 1991 we had it in March. In 2005 I moved to North Somerset and here snow is rare due to the coast being 3 miles away. We had some snow for a few days this winter. It is a different story in the rest of the UK with 6 foot snow in some areas. The temperature is minus 10 in Scotland. We have seen beautiful spring flowers like yellow daffodils. The bird life is badly affected by the snow. Spring is meant to be warm and sunny with some rain in April. It is like having a spring time in the Arctic. I am truly fed up with the freezing cold weather. It is misery for thousands of people in my home country. I like to stay at home loads as I am not a fan of cold and windy weather. Opposite my bungalow the people have gardeners doing some work in their back garden like putting in a patio. I hope the gardeners are dressed warmly. I take my dogs out for walks and come home miserable due to the cold weather. Snow would be 100 times worse.

Hi shining star: I am not completely sure but this phenomena is not only present in the united kingdom. In general, in different parts of the world, the weather is changing. Some people say-and they are probably right- that, this is due to global warming. ALVARO
