What makes fellas here think they are experts and we should all believe them. From the start of the thread they have changed their forecasts numerous times.
Isn't that what forecasting is though? They are trying to predict nature via models. Things change so it would be mad to forecast something last Thursday and stick to it regardless! Be like me predicting Dublin to beat Mayo last night on Thursday, and sticking to it regardless even if the Dubs decided to send their u-10 team to the match instead
Thats why we are listening to the real experts but these guys are getting offended and throwing the toys out of the pram!
I assume the real experts are ME, who have a duty of care to not go mental just yet until they know for certain. They have raised a warning already,s aid it most likely will be raised to a potential red. Every forecast they give say this is gonna be bad, but they aren't saying how bad yet. The farming weather today could be the one with more info.
The negativity to posters here is shocking. Whats the harm in weather lovers letting us know and warning? If we take it on, or ignore is fine, but no need to have a go at them. And even if ya do prepare for the worst and it doesn't come to pass, what have ya lost out on?
Now, I'm off to let the water out of the roller and make sure all the machinery is tucked up nicely in the back of the shed!0 -
Long time reader fella and longer time farmer. Speaking varied posts, this thread is turning into a cut and paste job from weather forum. Bit duplication going on. Never mind the weather forum here.
Ya fella so you have said. Though you do seem to have spent that time complaining in your posts more than anything else imo. Nothing wrong with that of course. Just saying.

Letting water out of a roller is easier said than done for some.
I put mine in the shed with the cattle not a hope of opening them bungs.0 -

Yes forecasting is fair enough but when we said we would wait until closer to time and listen to experts the lad threw a wobbler and toys out of pram. He is over on weather forum saaying we are all in denial.
Not no one is in denial we just questioned 2 weeks of snow and hysterics on here. As a farmer im always prepared for bad weather especially this time year and have fodder for my animals.
No harm the lads here having fun though you are right! Long as they understand we are not obliged to prepare for end of world on their guess work!!0 -
