Didn't affect us here in Shropshire last time.... I'm happy to remain ignorant about such weather!!

 

[spin cycle]

hmmm.....so cold and wet vs bit colder and wetter

It just keeps on getting better doesn't it. Not only Covid, but how about dying of covid and hypothermia in an ambulance stuck in a 10 foot snow drift on the A46, being nursed by Hattie Jaques on the way to Lincoln County Hospital that's full anyway. Think I will switch the news off for a bit. "Lincoln County" hospital. Has a certain "Dukes of Hazzard" type ring to it.

And I'm supposed to be doing the VAT. Next up £13 bonus payment from British Sugar. Whoooohooooa. That'll nearly buy a new fan belt for the sprayer.

It is a long term forecast like that which will make me think it's about time to book a trip to the Canaries.... A couple of months sounds about right!

You mean... you might actually have a proper winter

 

[topground]

I don’t remember the last one being forecast any great time in advance even if it was so why trust this prediction?

 

[Pilatus]

If one reads down the article, it reads to me as media YET AGAIN Reporting a worst case scenario

They soon stoked up the massive Aberthaw coal power station in the last event.
Being decommissioned now so stuffed.
The lights will be going out!

That’s what modern day society calls progress

 

[Kidds]

Usually the opposite happens to long term forecasts.

 

[ARW]

They love to report this, they could write a similar article tomorrow that is going to be a mild few weeks but that doesn’t generate clicks

 

[mixed breed]

Today's sky news weather prediction was brought to you by the words, may, uncertain and of course everyone's favorite, possibly.

Join us again tmrw when we will learn the words, might, could and scaremonger

I was lambing outside in the previous Beast....buggered if I want to do the same again though have to say the stock faired well.....me on the other hand got fed up with defrosting pipes, dragging feed out, fighting to get the telehandler to fire up, fed up with ice covered roads/yard, idiots out to test their 4WD's thinking they are invincible....

I know....

Need some sunshine and away time. A few days biking around Gran Canaria would fill the bill nicely, but....

Our "lambing shed" got filled with AAX heifers yesterday, much to Herself's annoyance as I now don't have anywhere for her ****ing ewes! Think I will clear a bay in the new hay barn for them and get some brownie points. BUT.... no power there as yet. L O N G extension cable I reckon...
