It's snowing !

[rancid badger]

Howling winds last night, with the odd squally shower.

Today, howling winds with sleet, snow, torrential rain and then it calms down with glorious sunshine, till the next squall comes belting through!

I just got back from being out on my bike and confirmed my thoughts before i went out on it that i'd have to be half mental to try cycling in that

The wind kept wrenching my head to the side every time my beard got caught by a strong gust of wind

Came in like a lamb and out like a lion this year. :?

I was trying to remember what it was like in early March. Think it was fairly open?

Bod the local airport could hire you and use that particularly fine facial growth as a wind-sock.
The avatar picture is particularly spiffy, you going to keep going with.it?

in my neck of the hills it was alternating between horizontal hail and horizontal snow interspersed with gales and a -11 wind chill apparently....... gonna be a barmy -6 windchill tomorrow, might venture down to the post box on the morrow in sensible attire, not geordie stylee t shirt n shorts ;-)
just snowing like bu££ery now and -18 windchill so accuweather man says.
The Whippet, she says 'I'm not going out for a **** in that...oh no no no no!' a quick shove with the right foot and she has no choice.....mwahahahahahha

Yeah mate the plan is to never cut it again ever, same for my hair on my head (worried if i shave that off again it might never come back), it is uncanny how well the wind grabs it i am even finding a major reduction in my slipstream flow of wind around my body when cycling on regular wind level days, like some type of mad man made cycling airbrake system, head down beard tucked under chin for speed and when needing that little bit extra stopping power just slam the anchors on and deploy beard

Found when I had long hair and beard that it had heck of a drag in the pool when I swam a lot. Still keeping with the thread they keep.you warm in a blizzard.
There was a polar explorer years back whos beard froze and then snapped off when back in cover, breaking his big toe and leading to.problems.

To be fair that is a mighty mainsail of a beard your rockin these days

I'm still getting used to it, every time i adapt i then learn i need to adapt to the new length since last adapting, thankfully i have now stopped dipping it in my cereal bowl between spoonfuls at breakfast time when i'm half asleep.

Ultimate wind blocker around the neck n definitely keeps you warm, i'm sure that was natures intention

I dont shave but i cant grow a proper beard. It just grows out instead of down....i look like i'm trying to smuggle a small blond rasta under me chin when i let it grow out in winter

Does deffo keep you warmer though

 

[GGTBod]

Mine grew out like that until it got heavy enough and gravity made it grow down too, it is about 6 weeks longer than shown in my avatar now

Lovely sky today, blue and clear after a lot of heavy rain and winds last night...

You definitely need to update your avatar then - maybe a panoramic photo, but up n down rather than side to side..... Have you been talking photos regularly? it'd be interesting to get a kind of sped up time lapse thing going to show the growth of the beard.

Spending 4 nights and 3 days with my two girls (9 + 6) in static caravan just above York. First 2 nights have been exciting with wind and rain but kids been OK with it. If crap today we're off swimming at a council pool 😁

 

[treadlightly]

The full range of weather here. Apparently snow is more common at Easter than Christmas.

 

[Robson Valley]

Snowing most mornings, just enough to make the roof tops white then it melts by mid-day.
Freezing level maybe 2,000' (well above the village) with substantial new snow up top.

I've just been past a field next to a housing estate near home, I counted five trampolines caught up in the Poplars at least 400m away in the next field, I'll get a pic in the morning if they're still there
