My grandfather used to say that a fair February cursed the rest of the months! So maybe good would be nice but not too good.

Have heard that before.

I remember 1993 was a really dry February up here. Less than 4mm for the month.
Some people were sowing spring barley by the end of it which is pretty much unheard of up here.

Summer was a wash out

Seem to remember a statistic for here in North West that February is the second driest month, and August is the second wettest.
Figures.

Still plenty here, very slow thaw

 

[llamedos]

Still some lumps of black ice under where the snow lay, makes walking about interesting, ice in some of the troughs still a couple inches thick too where the sun dosnt get round too.

Yes February is normally a dry month, but thats what you expect in the middle of summer here.

Very foggy here, Monday was very nice a spring like today is bloody cold

 

[DrWazzock]

It hasn't rained here for a while, but it never seems to dry on top. Yard freezes then turns to a wet slurry and so on.

Been spraying some manganese on today as crops look a bit deficient and these low light levels and cold isn't helping at all. Sprayer travelled well as not too wet underneath. Top been heaved by frost and a bit loose but much to damp to roll yet.

Dried nicely Friday, sun and Monday

Long may it continue no rain is a bonus
