>Such a contrast to last year. T shirt and shorts weather I remember

Last year on 18th I was mowing with no shirt at all. It was too hot to wear one and do any work outside.

Presently, it's about 12cm (for the oddballs: 5") and still falling. Luckily, the temperature is at least +1 so it's thawing a bit, but when the sun sets, if it doesn't stop, we may end with 20cm in the morning.

They've been promising +20C for the weekend, now the rations were increased to +16C.
