Yeah, there's been some amount of rain this last four months here too. I've never seen land so wet for so long.

It'll have to change soon, as I've been saying since October:o

Walked through crops Saturday looking at them towards this time last year they are back back on last spring ground is swimming .

Buford T. Justice XIX · 06-02-2018 6:13am

Cold and damp.

Bit of a change from the last few months...

davidk1394 · 07-02-2018 1:24am

32°C here now and 16°C at night. Humidity is pretty high which is the biggest killer.

And in 20 minutes it has suddenly cleared and now im being blinded by the sun. Only in ireland

It's very hard to believe all the snow reports and pictures from all over the country.
We had a bit of rain last night. But the Sun is shining here all morning and there's a drying wind out now.
Cows are back out grazing again today.
Ground conditions in that paddock are fairly good.

There's not even any snow or a hint of it on the blackstairs mountains.

Nekarsulm · 10-02-2018 2:18am

Cavan.
Yesterday morning (friday ) almost 2 inches of snow. Roads clear by 3pm, except the few usual places that don't get the sun.
I see a people carrier on it's side down in a field at one notorious spot.

Raining non-stop at the moment.

Ground just swimming, water running off it in waves.

Mooooo · 10-02-2018 7:23am

Same here, still drizzling. Three tanks ready to overflow. Worst thing about this working craic, I could have tipped out with a few load in the frosty mornings earlier in the week. Contractor is on top of his head. Talking about next week sometime

Reggie. · 10-02-2018 11:24am

A lot of fresh water about this morning

Home farm is too wet for umbilical system. Contractor is going to spread on outfarm with tanker. Land much drier there. It's almost a month since the closed period ended and feck all chances of getting out. Rang lime contractor in November and still not spread

Yeah looking dire in this area too

George Sunsnow · 10-02-2018 12:57pm

Beautiful here now and sunny and warm
Remember I said we wouldn’t see 9c for a long time?
I was wrong!
10.7c here
12mm rain since midnight so ground is greasy

naughto · 10-02-2018 3:46pm

Pissing rain here now was a lovely morning

Say my name · 10-02-2018 4:00pm

That time of the year.

It's 11c.
Grass regrowths after the cows grazing.

George Sunsnow · 10-02-2018 6:54pm

I wouldn’t mind the hoof prints,those aren’t bad
Get as much grass into them on the days you can
Topped out at 12.1 c here in Wicklow but that 12 mm rain wasn’t helpful
Bit of a shock to the system again tomorrow by the looks of things

foxy farmer · 10-02-2018 7:15pm

Some serious rain falling up around Lough Neagh at the moment.

I'm not measuring the rainfall here.
Well I suppose I am in my own way. There's a bit of a grass hollow behind a shed and if it's empty the cows go out and if there's water in it they stay in.
They only go out for about 3 hours most days anyway so any damage is minimal.
I'm not really following the weather forecast as much anymore but using my water in the grass hollow guide.

Whatever comes I'll manage but thanks for the heads up.

I can safely say on this forum "I hope we don't get cold weather and snow from this SW."

Land is in muck here, however lambing isn't starting for three weeks so hopefully things will change as there was a lot of activity first week of mating.
Wouldn't be a hope of letting anything out at the moment, grass and corn is even looking stressed around here.

Hard Knocks · 10-02-2018 8:07pm

Some amount of rain this afternoon, drains overflowing

Did you keep on a smaller flock, Wrangler?

whelan2 · 10-02-2018 8:44pm

Does anyone ever remember such a long bad run of crap weather?

Buford T. Justice XIX · 10-02-2018 8:55pm

I don't anyway. The only consolation is at least it's during winter rather than during summer.

A neighbour was saying we have only had 8 dry days here since the end of September. There's a good few lads caught last week spreading with a raingun a few miles from here.

I had the contractor in today pumping into the tower and he says he is only doing 2 or 3 hours in a place on whatever dry fields the farmer has and going onto the next lad for a few hours again. It must be a right pain to roll out and up the umbilical for longer than you're spreading.

Yea , have eighty for the moment, 30, 5 and 6 year olds, 30 that weren't just good enough fr the sale and around 20 ewe lambs. I've room for 300 ewes so will be able to keep them in after lambing if this weather continues.
There's a shed on an outfarm rented to a neighbour with 200 ewes as well, nearly everything is sold, leased or given away at this stage.....:D

1c cold a bit of snow fell last night only enough to cover the windscreen on the car.

But 'snow' over there isn't just about snow ya know - t'is a bit like a train spotting forum - most of the posters hang out all year just to catch a glimpse

They're getting a fair treat this year ....

WARNING.

If you're prone to acts of violence and you want to keep your phone/laptop/tablet intact and live in an area affected by snow do not read the next message after Whelan's.
