I'm interested in that saying 'snow always brings more snow' which I've heard a few times......it can't really be right or it would never stop snowing, or maybe it doesn't with you!

If there’s snow on the tops we will need more snow to shift it. It won’t just melt or disappear with rain. So the sooner it snows the better unless the next lot that comes doesn’t shift either

Best thing it can do is come with a dump of snow which turns to warm rain and take the lot of it away out the road

Sheep are eating a bit less silage this last few days and trying to break it a little bit. Still not really going off and labouring properly hanging around the rings and waiting for cake most of the time
16.5 degrees in the shade here today in SomersetAye. livin in the costa del devon you dont know what us hill billy peasants have to put up with.
sweat is running off, you lads would never stick it
and we have very small fields, ask your brother
Another one I couldn't understand was what an old farmer in our village said to me during a drought, "it won't rain because the grounds to dry to draw any" , going by his theory it would never rain ever again

I would agree that a lot of any type of weather will draw more of the same.
When we are as sodden as we are now, any better weather will create more water vapor, producing and drawing in more wet weather.
When we get dry, it similarly takes a lot to change things when everything is desperate to soak up any moisture that arrives.
Likewise, you rarely get an isolated storm, once you get large atmospheric imbalances, it seems to perpetuate more.
