Lucky you.

We have sideways ice rain from the NW and it cuts into your skin.

Bloody brutal stuff

Grey with a glimmer of blue hope.,..

 

Hopefully the woods have dried out a bit as it's dam slippery by bike

Absolutely batshit bonkers. Had heavy snow last night which actually settled followed by lashing rain and storm forecast now .Never ever known anything like it. Was looking at some statistics; we've had here almost 2/3 of the years annual rainfall already - in less than 3 months. October thru December '23 were the wettest in 30 years. And February and March this year the wettest ever recorded. Crop yields this year approaching apocalyptic failure.

There must be something wrong. It's the Easter weekend and there's no rain showing here for the next three days, after today. 🤔

With my farming hat on, I too have seen nothing like it in over fifty years of farming.  Wheat fields decimated and hardly a Spring crop sown.  My Miscanthus contractor has not cut even one acre anywhere and he covers a large area in the North.  Pools of water, mud everywhere.  Approaching Cuckoo barley territory now. Cannot go in the woods without making a filthy mess and even winching logs out from the roadways has the same result.  At least managed to bring enough logs back to the yard to process under cover.
