Have we got a good morning Easter Monday?

Well we really couldn't believe it, but at 8.15 this morning... and for about 10 minutes... there were flurries of snow in our little Northamptonshire village !

Thought we were seeing things, but neighbours saw the snow flakes too !

Happy Easter everyone !

Good late morning. Slept well last night and was only vaguely aware of it raining. Here in North Somerset it's a fairly good day. OH is just getting ready to go out for a 10 mile run! Me, an easy day at home and a trip to coffee shop

Very windy, wet and noisy night here in Norfolk! One fence panel demolished, but that is all the damage. Electricity went off about 2.30 am for about 3 hours, now resetting all the electric clocks, central heating etc. Should die down during morning says the weather forecast,!!!

Grr... woke to wind, rain, sleet and a covering of the white stuff. No mention of the West Midlands being affected this way in all weather warnings I've seen. Do we not exist, meteorologically speaking?

Morning, all...

Not too bad in South Yorkshire - blowing a bit, but maybe it hasn't reached us yet. We had hailstones as big as marbles yesterday teatime and had to vacate the conservatory as conversation was impossible and anyway I completely got the jitters! GS thought it was terrific - "They're dancing on the lawn, Nanny" he said. I was more concerned about them dancing on the roof! He is off to London today with his parents - weather not too good down there it seems! I hope they have a safe couple of days.

Fine here in our part of Cheshire. Very wet and windy overnight, but this morning it's just cloudy with light wind.

Actually in Hazel Grove.

Good morning to you Clare

I was woken in the night by the very bright moon shining in to my (curtainless) window. Today in eastern Scotland it is bright and sunny and no wind. Good luck to all those further south in the grip of Katie.

one tree down so far - daffodils surviving just

Grey clouds steaming across the sky but no rain yet here in Cheadle Hulme near Stockport. (hello annsixty)
Had an amazing flash storm yesterday..I went out and commanded the heavens lol. Hope everyone in caravans and tents down south are safe! xx

Shoeburyness where I live was mentioned on the BBC as having the strongest winds. I slept badly because it was so loud and got up this morning to find our row of houses now has one large open plan garden! It's not the first time we've had to replace the fences as it's always windy here. We get the wind straight from the sea. I was planning to ride my bike along the seafront this morning to meet friends for brunch, but I think we'll be sader in the car! Hopefully the wind will die down soon so we can start to repair everything

I think gransnet need to update their clocks. In case they have forgotten the clocks went forward 1hour yesterday morning

Good morning from Kent. Very mixed weather this morning, pretty wet and windy overnight, and still windy now but not so bad. Found a worm on the back door mat this morning think it must have blown in through the brushes on the draught excluder, obviously not working very well in keeping out draughts! . We have decided a day in Bluewater is called for, no doubt, alongside thousands of others. Enjoy the rest of your Easter everyone.

I may be tempting fate by saying this but Bamburgh seems to have a microclimate and bad weather seems to pass us by. Bit grey and damp this morning but didn't hear any strong wins in the night....although, supposedly I was snoring so loud it would have drowned it out.....

Good morning from Hertfordshire. Starting to calm down now but it's been very wild here. I managed to sleep through it but I was sitting up in bed at around 8am when I heard that dreaded drip drip sound. Water was trickling down the wall and onto the headboard. I have yet to investigate but I think there is an external chimney breast going up from a fireplace there used to be in the dining room below the bedroom. I will need to get someone in I expect. Never ending expense!

Well it was raining and blowing here in Staffs but just had a call from elder DD who had taken their caravan to Dorset. She said it was a terrible night. They had emptied the awning but at about midnight the poles started to give so they struggled to pack it up. Campers on the site have had a bad night-why ever did they stay when such a storm was forecast? Do you think common sense is in short supply these days?
Also heard from a friend inBexhill; she says it's still blowing a hooley there so she's staying in catching up on recorded tv progs.

Good morning from Durham, wet and windy most of the night.Pouring down now, we are on our way back to Hertfordshire shortly, reports say A1 is bad. So slow careful journey is ahead. Enjoy rest of Easter.

Here on the Devon coast it often blows long and loudly but last night's storm was something else! Wuthering depths!

Well in Surrey we had torrential rain & howling winds all night. I believe Gatwick was closed for some time. It has stopped raining now but the trees at end of garden are blowing horizontally at the top. We are hoping they come down as they are Leylandii & belong to a neighbour who will not remove them & they keep all light out of bottom of our garden.
We don't get the worst of UK weather in SE but when we do get it it tends to be severe. I well recall the hurricane in 1980s.

Rain but no gales in this part if Wales - yet

Good morning everyone.
No wind or rain here, Katie seems to have passed us by in Tynedale. High cloud, with the sun trying to break through just now. I have some washing to do today, otherwise just relaxing.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning !

Its blowing a good 'un here in our part of Essex. Next door neighbours erected a steel and fabric gazebo on Good Friday - I wonder where the roof is now :-)

Happy Easter Monday!

Grey grey skies here. Still in bed or rather went back with a second cup of tea and a burst of electric blanket. No visitors and not even a peep of a happy Easter from the DDs. Am I letting it get me down? No news is good news as someone's DH says.

Wow! What a very noisy, windy night we had - and still much the same. A fair number of twigs and sticks are on the lawn and the patio chairs have blown over.

We are having a quiet day and "eating up" after yesterday's family lunch. Why can I never estimate the amounts so we don't have left-overs? I think it's from my Mum who always said that it was better to have too much than too little. I'd like it to be just right!
