Wet for the week per the forecast. Heathfield is nice town. 👍

high winds here at the moment 40 mph gusting to 55 mph a couple of wagons have gone over on the A1 no doubt there will be some trees over with the ground been waterlogged.

It's been pretty wet here lately. We had a good dump of snow a week ago, but it's been raining and 3-6c for much of the time since.

 

Not in the British "raining stair rods" kind of way, but the Swedish forestry machine operators I've spoken to have said they can't remember it being so wet. It's odd though - there is loads of surface water and the rivers are quite full, but there isn't really any mud. The rivers are running clear too. A very different geology to Devon, where the red clay ruled. 

 

I've concluded that I actually don't mind rain so much if it doesn't turn everything into a muddy shit-pit. It's the mud and all the difficulties it brought for work/walking the dog/staying sane that was the problem.

I'm beginning to suspect you're a jinx J. If you moved to the Atacama desert it'd rain buckets!

Haha!

It's a combination of fairly modest rainfall combined with lots of snow melt. What the Swedes here regard as very wet weather/ground would be regarded as quite reasonable conditions anywhere on the British west coast!

Is it blowy down your way Stubby? Not so much as a breeze with us today, been a few windy days recently but not seen any damage.

Gusty down here. With a spot of rain.
