Snow alert issued for Hampshire
JUST when you thought Spring had almost arrived - a weather warning has been issued that snow is coming our way once again.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for Sunday, telling people to be aware that up to 5cm of the white stuff could fall in the evening.
Temperatures will drop and a south easterly wind will make the freezing conditions feel even colder than they are.
The snow is expected to continue into Monday morning with between 3cm and 5cm falling widely over the county.
It's a stark contrast to earlier this week when temperatures climbed well into double figures for the first time this year and the sun was shining.

'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out' which is attributed to a gentleman called Dr. Thomas Fuller who listed it in a book he called Gnomologia in 1732.

It's at this point southy will cite some mysterious book only he has read, or even heard of, that only members of political parties are allowed to read, that supports his argument. Need I mention the Rahit Maryada once more?

Think what is all ready started for farmers will still be happening into May, Lambing season, Cold weather or heavy snow fall could mean a lost of Lamb stock.
Fuller only took a saying that was all ready around used his own words and printed it, thats why the word attributed is use, he took a saying that far pre-dates him self used it in his own form

But Southy has to delve into his book of complete tosh and come up with a new and novel unprovable, unlikely and ludicrous excuse. I hope the electors remember the amount of lies you tell when it come to your next humiliation at the ballot box
