Better to talk about something you can change I guess, come to think of it that would be way more
interesting"

I can recall one continuous fortnight of rain, and one fortnight of continuous subzero in my lifetime

1995 was the last decent freeze-up here IIRC.
I remember this as the next-door neighbours came home and blew up their "destructor" (like a mini coal range) by cranking it up with the wetback frozen solid, and I got a milking job out of it because they quit .
So I then had a full-time dairy job to work around high school, beginning an lifelong experiment in time management....
88 was the dry year, 1995 was the freeze/flood year, and 98 was the first big flood year since 1980
Otherwise it's fickle as she comes, which makes life both interesting and easy
Mind you tbf , they didn't have enough height to climb on , r beans need a good old framework to hang off...........

hazy sunrise due to all the smoke in the air to the east
funny how things go with the weather, we have had a council snow plough since the 1970's, the last time my dad used it was the mid 1980's and I first used it in 2013 and used it 3 of the years since that, so that was best part of 30 years without enough snow to be worth ploughing

I expect there’s a good feed left on them even now.
The missus is bloody hopeless at telling which are tough though.
