Snow

[Oliveau]

I didn’t see any grass for 8 weeks in 2020. That had a fairly severe effect on my fodder stocks.

Some of us are long enough in the tooth to remember the ‘63 winter - now that WAS severe weather.

 

[Wurzeetoo]

Home births are over-rated.

As long as it’s far far away from me they can crack on however they please bud

 

[Poorbuthappy]

Only problem was it was minus 4 overnight and water troughs frozen for cattle and no water running in top yard.

Yep -4 here too. Then the snow.
-6.5 the other night, and daughter's sow decided to farrow outside under the hedge instead of in a farrowing hutch.
They were OK though - to think some people think they need to be indoors under heat

Calf born Tuesday about 5pm, was skipping around field next morning at minus 4.

Mind you it’s a hairy Devon and not a nearly hairless piglet!

Wife’s patterdale disappeared as it was going dark , found her in a nest amongst small hay bales … with 8 pups!
Probably warmer there than in our big shed where she normally sleeps

That's nice.

that's nice, a la mrs brown?

 

[melted welly]

All the 4wd owners are out testing out the vehicles forward gripping capabilities.

Seen one already who's stopping capabilities were less "capable "

Clearing snow one year, stopped to salt the farm road end, met a chap out testing his rav4, he lost control on the slight downhill, where I was. He had his hands over his face and could hear his girly screams over the engine as he slid past into the ditch at about 2mph.

just looked on in amazement. 🫣

 

[lazy farmer]

All gone quiet here though about it.
Cows farting issues now?

That’s because we came together and sorted the issue

 

[renewablejohn]

So much snow here they had to shut Manchester airport. More like they could not find the snowflakes willing to use a sweeping brush. Certainly not enough snow to even think about getting a snow plough out.

67,68,&69 had some heavy snowfall also. Most years it was a couple of times lasted a week or so.
Think it was 71 & 72 didn't even have a day of frost.

 

[penntor]

Had a flurry this morning but it didn't last.
When they say 'Yellow Snow Warning' does that mean don't eat yellow snow.

 

[Fendt516profi]

Weather warning for -4 ffs .IT WAS ONCE JUST CALLED WINTER!
WORLD GONE TO SHITE.

Was 'temperatures to plummet to -3' other day suppose at least if that's the worst news they've got to report about the world jobs not to bad

 

[Bury the Trash]

couple of inches this morning roads are worse now with snow still on them tbh as it freezes again .

its covered stuff up nicely to save some frost damage hopefully.

 

[Norfolk Olly]

It wasn’t a good one.

You got much so far this year? Only 2-3” here this week but not sure if it’s going to melt or hang around.
