If you take quantity over quality then the winner is Switzerland

So you don't get the joke then? Want me to explain?

Pouring in Baden.

On the bright side, my new showerproof running jacket works.

Nope. I guess I missed that part due to my absence



I envy you. I still have to take showers after running in my jacket.

Is there any spot in CH which is actually dry at the moment?

Ygh...

It's snowing! Was expecting a little early morning tomorrow, but not today! Temp down to 5.3 outside.

I changed to my summer tires on Friday.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

We did ours early because of going on holiday, but even if we hadn't we'd have probably changed by the 9th April at the latest cause wouldn't be expecting snow this late in the year down here.

Stopped now and didn't lay here, but the forecast yesterday was for a little bit of snow to lay overnight tonight so hoping that's wrong - otherwise the OH may have a bit of a hairy journey into work tomorrow!

Had a little bit of snow today around here too..

Went out for a ride, Nyon>Geneva>Rolle>Nyon .. Geneva cold but sunny, horrible head wind all the way to Rolle where i got rain, hail and snow on me and damn head wind again back to Nyon to the sun again.

That'll 'slow up' the cyclists around Murten!


No snow here and it's actually mostly sunny but it's a bit nippy to say the least.

well the monsoon has arrived in Switzerland. We can expect 2-3 months rain then a short summer where everybody complains about the heat and later says what a fantastic " summer" it was.

This damned whether makes winter tires illegal one week and back to legal the next one :/ Make up your mind!

It isn't that hopeless after all.

Changed my winter tyres to summer tyres last week. Drove yesterday in pouring rain and that's all. There's a short snow fall this morning but it's vanished soon after. It's immediately subsided. Springing grass and flowers, lush spring arrival wouldn't let it last long.

Remember that April's weather is known to fluctuate between two seasons extremes. It can be quite astonishing.

Long stormy spring-time,
wet contentious April,
winter chilling the lap of very May;
but at length the season of summer does come.

Thomas Carlyle

Kwiecień plecień bo przeplata: trochę zimy, trochę lata :P

For those who don't speak Polish, here it is half in Aserbaidschanisch:
Iç-içə , çünki April plecień : qış , bir neçə il bir az

It's a rhyme ...

It's rough translation goes something like this: A month of April intermingles between two seasons winter and summer.

which is equivalent to:

Ne'er cast a clout till May be out

April April, macht was er will.

April brings the sweet spring showers...
on and on for hours and hours..

and from the same couple, Flanders and Swan, just to cheer you all up
June just rains and never stops
Thirty days and spoils the crops.

Of course, they were talking about British weather. which surely makes a difference.
I hope!
