Interesting little round up of some of today's "lesser" news stories by the BBC :-)
Happy Easter? - Heavy traffic on the M1 according to Daily Star
Folk hoping to get away this Easter can look forward to a "traffic meltdown" amid "10 days of travel chaos" according to the Daily Star, which reports that 16 million motorists are expected to "clog roads in the great escape". It quotes motoring organisation the AA as saying that 55% of British drivers will take to the roads for an Easter outing, starting tomorrow when many schools break up for holidays.
Happy Easter ? - Good weather forecast for Daily Express Readers
Still, at least holidaymakers will be able to enjoy fine weather, if the Daily Express headline proves correct. "The sun has got his bonnet on for Easter," it says, quoting forecasters saying "the mercury will remain in the 60s Fahrenheit (above 15C) across most of the country".
Happy Easter ? - Snow & Showers to hit UK at Easter according to The Sun
However, the paper's own weather charts show clouds and rain during much of the weekend, while the Sun predicts: "Snow and showers to hit UK at Easter." It says forecasters are predicting an "Arctic plunge" for next week, quoting one - from the Met Office - saying: "Because it's Easter, everyone's going to be feeling a bit annoyed."
Happy Easter ? Maybe for UK's Tea Plantations reports The Express
The precipitation shouldn't bother the owners of Britain's only tea plantation, though. The Express reports that it's enjoying "a record-breaking crop - thanks to the recent flooding, gales and driving rain". It says staff predict a bumper crop to smash the previous record of 10 tonnes, quoted the garden director saying: "The tea thinks of the heavy rainfall as humidity. It loves the wetness."

Think we will stick to the seaweed, pine cones & red sky at night theories on weather - just as accurate.
Spooky we were only just saying to a cusotmer that we thought we may have got away with the snow and let's hope there's no frost and you throw this all into the equation.... confused you soon will be.....
Snow problems? Lack of work due to snow? If you are in the SE come and see my discussion in the Hub...
