A cold start to March is not unusual. At least, not in this neck of
the woods.
The comments on this ng seem to convey rather short memories.
Both March 2005 and 2006 started cold.
4th and 7th March 2005 min -3.0C
2nd March 2006 min -3.7C.

It was coldest at the start of March 1986, with -5.7C on 3rd.

Perhaps we are just longing for this extended winter to end.

I'm not Len, I'm loving it to bits, such fun!
We had a good snowstorm in March 2004.

I think I've just about come to the point where on the models
I instintively look for warmth, rather than cold

Enough is enough, we've had 2½ months of this now, there have
been some great moments but I think it's time to move on

"In like a lion - Out like a lamb"

In the mild winters not to long ago I had more snow (and hail) in the
spring months of march and april than any time during the winter
before them.
This was often down to development of heavy showers. Back in 1997 when
I was staying north of newcastle, after a mild sunny april had hours
of heavy snow during May as cold air from the north brough showers in
of the coast.

Here in France, there's been a biting northeast wind hammering us for
several days now, with some snow yesterday. Temperature this morning
at 09:00 (local time) was minus 5.8. Brrr.

Remember...the models do NOT control the weather....Mother Nature does.

Well, the weather is controlled, produced and determined by the laws
of physics. I suppose you could refer to that as "mother" nature.

And these laws of physics are applied to the atmosphere and ocean with
varying success. The applied science is inexact, so perhaps 'mother
nature' is a rather good way of putting it.
I appreciate we should not be sexist about these things.
Perhaps sexy is alright though. :-)

Why has MahFL put us so off-topic?
