Did someone say Spring was here

Okay so it is not quite snow-covered but you get the idea!

I am told it is Spring, my diary says it is Spring, we even have to put our clocks forward this weekend to start British Summer Time. So why is the weather so awful and I have been struck down with a really bad cold/flu/bird flu (delete depending on levels of melodrama). This time of year things are supposed to get better lighter evenings and just more pleasant - I want to complain and get a refund, but who should I ask? At least I can be thinking about Japan in two months that will cheer me up!
