Cold winters a thing of the past according to the scientists ,climate change and all that!!

They've right short memories... 2021 was bloody cold almost all of Jan and Feb. It was brilliant

I loved 2010 winter, -15 through the day and not a cloud in the sky. No rain/snow for months - christ the sheep did well with the sun on their backs

+1 started snowing here the day the tups went out. Was still snowing when the lambs started dropping. At Christmas 2010 we had a level 2 feet in the yard and -21. Did nothing for 2 weeks but thaw water troughs
