Best seen out of the window on a day like this, as a fresh covering of snow on the hills augments the splendour of the new foliage on the trees.

In a shower around 12 noon, blobs of wet melting snow could be seen falling, at least at this altitude (140ms) & after this shower, at 1215, the temperature was temporarily down to just 4.8 degrees---appalling for that hour at this stage in May.

A reminder that on 23rd May 2012, the temperature rose to 25.6 degrees!!!  Such is our weather!!
