I think I'm gonna have to start carrying warm gear everywhere if this keeps up...
No more sail south and save....

There's Blizzards in Madeira.....

And we have had a massive cloud burst in Malaga

I can remember organising a BBQ on Benone Beach, Co Antrim one fine June day. It snowed on the way to the beach

Forecast doesn't look to bad, do you have insider knowledge?

Just been on TVI News, PT.... had a look on the site but no links up yet... also hailstorms on the Algarve heavy enough to look like snow on the ground...

Meteosat - Northeast Atlantic - Water Vapor Loop (Flash) - Satellite Services Division/Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution

That must be a record for March...and for Madeira.

Nature is telling you to pour yourself an oloroso.

If thats a 'Ponche' with Brandy.... I agree...
Very popular with the Azorean Fishermen and the liquor 'Ponche' is reputed to be excellent in fighting the onset of flu....

[GordMay]

Oloroso is a type of sherry, and the basis of Bristol Cream. Retired oloroso casks are sometimes used to age brandy & Scotch whiskey.

And if it isn't, who cares?

There is a rare bit of sunshine here in the PNW. People are outside squinting like moles. I'd recommentd that you should only spend a half hour outside during this rare occurance.
