Apparently under way, usually a two week delay, possibly hit in March.

Easterlies forecast on both models 10 days ahead.

sprinkle of snow.

Speak for yourself, took me 9hrs to dig 3/4 mile to cattle and sheep sheds, had been travelling through the fields as they were clear only had to dig gateways out where it had been drifting

NASA’s take on climate change using data from the most recent 150 years or so.

A bit like putting a lobster in a cold pot and gradually increasing the temperature so it doesn’t notice until it’s too late …

We know the 1800's was a little ice age though.

And besides in what way is it too late?

You laugh but if we don't get a good drop of rain before long we won't have any grass growth in spring. Got ditches that are dry and cracks in the ground

Officially we are still in a drought in East Anglia, with a current forecast to suggest that It isn’t going to change any time soon.

It was more truth than joke really but with a bit of irony after the rain that most of us had over winter and for it to be so dry this time of year ....
Sure it will make up for it in may !!!
