Snow in April is more common than snow in December, and it's got nowt to do with climate change.

Snowing quite heavily here in Bath but not settling - was sat in the garden a week ago enjoying the warm sunshine

It happens. April 2008 we had 7” on settled snow one Sunday, much fun was had by all. Also some late snowy Easter’s when I was a kid in the 70’s.
In a milder part of Brighton, even they had this.

Pretty sure we had it the following (or maybe previous) year as well.
I seem to recall that year we had a load that it was followed by a "heatwave" and we were in shorts and t-shirts the following weekend.
What happened next was that at the end of Nov 08, sustained very cold temperatures and then snow hit Sussex in waves that winter. Signalling 4 snowy winters in a row. We had up to 13” of settled snow here in Withdean. My kids had about 10x more snowy days off, than I in my entire school days. Very lucky, tons of sledging on deep snow.

At least 3 times in the last 13 or so years that I can remember.
Might even have been more than 3 times. It's certainly not uncommon to see snow in April down here.

We had a barbecue in Burgess Hill yesterday - out of the wind and in the sunlight it was tee-shirt warm. Much colder today, couple of very light snow flurries......no more than a few seconds.

Yeah that's the good thing with this time of year - when the sun's out you still feel the warmth if out of a chilly wind. Off work today and sat relaxing in the garden for a few hours sheltered from the wind - was lovely!

Fed up with this bloody cold snap now I must admit. Mad how much it's spread across Europe
