    Above typical of the very benign and downright pleasant weather we had for the last month.

    'Wet' land up here in the NW had a chance to dry out……..which led to far better grass utilisation.Big bunches of sheep out with the ram weren't 'walking' the grass into the ground like most years.Anywhere land was stripped saw a great fresh growth of grass appearing.People going around in T-Shirts in November…..mad stuff Ted!

    We got prolonged torrential rain from Saturday evening on through the night……and tempertures have plummetted!

    Was out on the Quad yday checking stock……the quad was leaving a track on one boggy hill!!😲

    Two days previously you could have driven a tractor up there without leaving a mark.

    I got back home at about 2pm - I was on the road at 4.30am, called the suckler cows (one still has a 4mth calf at foot) & bull to another field with a good bite of grass where they have access to a straw bedded shed. I'm just back into the house after feeding the yard cats and the cows & bull are lying flat out and groaning with full bellies sprawled around the shed - a lovely sight.

    Finished grazing the dairy cows today, and will bring in the followers tomorrow. They were out by night up to last Thursday. No damage done. A record for this farm by about 10 days. A great oct and Nov. I feel like dropping a Mike. Boom

    Cracking day here in mid west but with the advisory for Thursday I think I'll bring in the last of the small cattle as they've no shelter, might leave the Autumn cows & calves out as they have a good bit of cover

    Could be the understatement of the year.

    But tomorrow is looking like a right crappy day. If it won't be flooding it could be heavy snowfall.

    Woke at 1am & it was sleety rain

    A good 75mm of snow here since 7ish, schools closed

    Great crack with the kids...simple pleasures in life

    Some road closures as well due to trucks sliding off

    They'll be some floods if sat rain forecast materialises.

    Some variation in parishes within a 20mile radius

    Storm Bert has just been confirmed 🙄

    Got 15cm + here , kids had a ball all day, only to keep drying the clothes and warming the extremities.

Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality.” George Orwell.

    Doesn't do it justice but unreal flooding here today from the thawing snow and heavy rain last night lots of roads closed.

    Very bad wind here Friday night,took down two healthy trees along with the sheep wire on the ditch😒

    Had steeps of rain over the weekend so land that had dried out so well is now back to square one.

    The 1st of December and it's 12 degrees. We still have the cattle out although the suckler cows & bull have access to a dry bedded shed and silage/straw as do the younger stock. It's twenty days till the Winter Solstice and the grass is still growing in fields that were grazed a few weeks ago which the younger stock will be left out on. Hopefully Jan, Feb and March weather is kind to us.

    There’s a strong wind here all day but it’s not cold. Couple of seagulls in which is always a bad sign of a storm.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Torrential rain here in Leitrim at the moment…….sadly the stormy wet weather conditions over the last 10 days have left land as wet as ever again…….we were spoiled by such a great dry spell in October.

    Heavy bands of rain passing through since earlier this morning. Gates closed in the cattle yards to keep them in for the moment. If the land drys out over the next few weeks I will let the young stock out by day for a nip of grass.
