Snow storm coming

[GTB]

Dead cert according to a relative because his sheep were playing out in the field yesterday. I laughed but when I walked into our sheep shed this morning our sheep are playing too.

Has anyone else ever been told this?

Never heard that but given that we usually get whatever the East coast USA has had but less severe and around 10-14 days later I wouldn't rule it out, last time I saw a barometric air flow prediction thing I thought it looked as if there was some shitty stuff coming down from the Icelandic area.

As to sheep playing, I usually take it as a good sign that they're on the thrive, cats acting like spazzes is a pretty good indicator of snow or a storm in the offing.

No, but we're now awaiting your next reports/pics to validate or explode the theory

'Cats acting like spazzes' !

Must add that to my red sky in the morning, and rain before 7, fine by 11 weather quotes. Classic.

Rabbits out feeding in the day time usually indicates a period of rain or snow. (A great time to do some lamping!). Diving rooks = rain.

what have they brass instruments?

It’s winter better than snow in April/May

 

[onthehoof]

First signs of Spring??

A sure sign of snow, I find, is 6" of white stuff on the ground.

 

[Kevtherev]

Usually sign of snow is you can’t find said sheep as they are under a snowdrift

 

[Lofty]

spazzes.

LOL... I reckon you can age somebody to maybe between 45-50 through the use of that word. I think you'd also know who Joey Deacon was?

Lots of geese flying south here yesterday, feck knows if it will snow or not but these guys were hauling ass south.

 

[Danllan]

S*d the snow, I just want a few days of hard frost so I can move a load of wrapped bales. (The rain here has spaced itself perfectly to prevent the ground from drying and to ensure that anything wheeled starts ploughing... )

Bet I don’t get a inch of snow

We used to have a cat that would disappear for months at a time. Would only re-appear a week or so before bad snow arrived.

I have been trying for years to remember who it was who featured in a television program about a disabled man ,called Joey who made shoes. I recalled he could not speak properly and people thought he was retarded; but that was not the case. Thank you @
Lofty for twigging something in the old grey matter that with the help of the internet has finally resolved my search, Angus.

LOL you're out by 10yrs but thank you for being kind. Did wonder before I pressed the post button whether it was OK, even though it referred to a kind of mog behaviour i.e. tearing into a room,screaching to a halt (ideally, but not always, before they crash into something), lying on their side kicking out furiously at feck all before belting through to other parts of the house, rinse and repeat.

SIGH!! so much of my vocabulary has been lost I can still remember the charity collection cans for those kids.

Snow forecast? Christ, wait for the panic buying of food and fuel, COBRA meeting at No10, army on standby, schools closed, BMW’s abandoned everywhere and all for the sake of an inch and a half of the white stuff.
