I wonder what the summer's going to be like?

At this time of year you'd expect the weather headlines to read "phew, what a scorcher!". And yet, on a Sunday in April, when we've packed away the ski jackets and pullovers until later in the year, we've had snow.

And not just a light dusting - no, this snow has been falling since last night, and was deep enough to make this rather shapely 'snow woman' - I say woman, because I've rarely seen a snowman with a figure like this...

It's now late afternoon and the snow's still falling, and it certainly doesn't seem like we were opening Easter eggs a couple of weeks ago.
