LONG WET WINTER?
- Thread starter bluebell
- Start date
It's been sort of dry lately....as in no heavy rain. Not really drying weather though, with fog/ mist / drizzle/ cloud. Frustrating.

Its March not May
Same here, but grey and mizzy this morning. Land still like soft cheese, no cattle out for a few weeks I suspect.

Cracking day here, shirt sleeves weather. Just wish we were lambing. It's not been a long winter - usually in sheds to mid-April here anyway and mud since September

Tee shirt here today.
Sowing,lambing, calving, lifting neeps, slapping on slurry all going today cracking.
I think the trouble is some of you guys just do not know what winter is or have forgotten
A month ago I was in week 4 of snow cover which was just shy of 2 feet deep, with blooming chilblains. Still have remnants of where it was pushed up and on the hill.
And the reality is it has not been that bad a winter. 2010 -2011 now that was a winter.

It just the fact the crapness lasts from Oct to Mar which is the issue

Seems like a long winter but it’s bloody good here for March , a lot hangs on April weather .

Doesn’t help when you have a p&@@ wet spell in the summer. August last year was a write off for us wet mostly we were well ahead of ourselves before then
