Are you all ready for the bad winter thats coming??

[Joy Yeomans]

Speaking to alot of my farmer friends recently, they all believe we shall be having a bad winter, cold and snow - from their thoughts that we had a good harvest that there are lots of berries etc about.

 

any body else think so??

Who knows? Lots of berries = a good summer not a bad winter.

with no winter last year lets hope this one runs twice as long as normal

[Spruce Pirate]

Every year I hear predictions of bad winters from farmers, foresters, weather forecasters, etc, etc..... I think some people just like to predict doom, despair and disaster.

 

Some winters turn out bad, some not so bad; I've yet to hear of a reliable way of telling - whether its berries, a good harvest, a wet spring, solar flares or whatever.

 

We'll have to wait and see what this winter brings.

Law of averages say were due a bad one

Well if its like the winters we've been having for the last 5 years, it will be an extreme of something, rain, wind, cold or snow. Probably wont be able to tell until its actually happening, even then the forecast will be wrong.

 

But as a log seller I predict a long, cold and snowy winter so start buying your logs now

I've read a few articles over the years about a guy who measures solar activity (think that's what it was), he allegedly had a good forecasting record way ahead of met office for example. It'll come back to me who he was and what he did

How do you work that out??? Of the last 5, 4 were very hard, 1 was very mild, so by the law of averages we a due another mild one.

[Boaty]

4 very hard? Really? Where do live the arctic?

[skyhuck]

You can see where I live from my profile, unlike yourself.

 

Of cause I'm talking relatively, but yes the 4 before the last one were much colder than any for the previous 30years, hence the death of so many eucalyptus, many of which were 30 years old.
