Beast from the east part2!!!!!!

[Greythundercloudys]

Just read online for cast for next weekend, those cold east winds are coming back, when will spring ever spring this year and when will the grass grow, may??

Ive never known such a hard winter , not the cold so much as the persistent wet even since last july , everything is in a mess , constant moving from one field to another just to keep something green under their feet , Wouldnt mind a bit of frost for a while , just not extrem like last time

Most expensive winter I can recall and it's far from over yet.

 

[MRT]

We aren't far from you @GTB and I thought last year was bad, this year....

 

[AvonValleyFarmer]

Expensive here too, onto my last fortnight worth of hay, grass is just a funny shade of yellow scattered amongst mud and water. Haven't had it as bad as some though.

 

[unlacedgecko]

It's definitely been challenging.

It's May every year here in upland central scotland as well, but it's needing to dry up soon , thay would do to start with.

The models seem to be firming up on another beasterly this weekend/ next week. During peak lambing for me.
Hopefully not as harsh as the last one, not sure if my Charolais x lambs will cope with 10 ft drifts!

 

[sheep breeder]

The char x will cope the same as any lamb

Took some soil temperatures today. Average of 4.8 degrees with little variation either side. Given that grass starts to grow at 5, spring is not far away but we need a run of warm sunny days, which seem a distant prospect. Air temp was 4, which isn't a great help..
