Here in central London. Where it never snows. Appears to be getting heavier too.
It's ****ing April for ****s sake. I'm fed up with winter. Begone! 😥
snow here in NW London !
Yep, snow here too - I'm really struggling to drag myself out for a ride at the mo. I don't usually have a problem with riding in the winter, don't mind the mud & ice, but the prolonged grimness has just worn me down.
Snow here. Would love to get out for a ride but work gets in the way.
That's the trains down for a month then on the basis of the snow excuse.
It was only a few years ago that we had a fair bit of snow in April - people seem to forget that. I remember the opening round of BSB at Brands being cancelled due to snow too, not sure if it was same year.
The April snow was April the 18th 2008.
think the weather turns tomorrow.. fingers crossed else I'm going to design a big arse fan that sits above the UK and blow all the crap rain/snow clouds away
Yeah maybe it snowed in April 2008 but at least it had warmed up in March before that so the snow was just a blip.
At least the snow still doesnt look like this in london

I'm going out this evening. A year ago, I would have cycled to South Ken, then enjoyed riding through central London late at night when it's very quiet, and it would have been quite pleasant. But I just can't face having to schlepp through the cold and wet when it's like this. It's 'orrible.
And I can't even get a refund. 😥
West Yorkshire had snow in April last year, hung around on the trails for a few days. Nice and sunny here now, but still flipping freezing and quite a lot of big drifts and ice about from the last ridiculous dump of snow still making things unpleasant on the tops.
I've definitely had enough of winter.

Hold on a darngoneminute there boy, i think you might be onto something!
We've just filled half the northsea coast with windturbines right? And we have an excess generating capacity in our powerstations right? Well, put the switch over to "blow" and lets push all that cold arctic air back to where it came from! Make it so, No1........ 😉
I was over in Pool, near Otley yesterday evening. There were roadies out in groups all around Wharfedale and climbers bouldering on that long hill that goes up from Otley. Clearly a bit of cold doesn't bother those Yorkies.
It's not the cold so much that bothers me; it's the unrelenting greyness and dampness that's so depressing. I don't mind cold yet bright weather; in fact I spent an extremely enjoyable afternoon on Hampstead Heath with my wife just a few weeks ago. But when you've got to pull on yet more layers and waterproofs again, when your body and soul is crying out for some warmth and sunlight, it's just depressing.
blue skies & sunshine in Bolton, Lancashire.
much as it has been for about 3 weeks, just a tad breezey & cold, but the trails & dry, fast & as good as they can get.
Snowing on the North Hampshire/Berkshire border as well.
Yeah, snowing (barely) in Cambridgeshire too.
I'm getting sick of it now. Too cold, too windy. It's stoping me getting on the allotment and planting stuff. At this rate, my soft fruit will be ruined.
Snowing in portsmouth 🙁 although I'm back home in Ludlow tomorrow 🙂
Yep, snowing here in Surrey's lush and verdant Hills too.
I remember the opening round of BSB at Brands being cancelled due to snow too, not sure if it was same year.
Same here- i got as far as Tonbridge (from Hastings) and had to turn back as my visor was icing up and i couldn't see. Great fun on the Honda though 😉
It's the wind that's killing it- yesterday i had to curse my way along in the middle ring at walking pace along a straight road just to keep forward momentum!
I'm putting the bike away till it warms up- harumph!
I'm going to design a big arse fan
Could you clarify please? Is that a "big-arse fan" (i.e. a very large fan) or a "big arse-fan" (i.e. a large fan for use on arses) or a "big arse fan" (i.e. a fan for use on large arses)??
Hmm. Looking forward to riding home from Paddington tonight!
"unrelenting greyness and dampness"
It's like that here all the time. It's grim up north.

Great to hear the southern nancy boys are fed up with weather normally only attributed to the West facing Pennine slopes at this time of the year.
