    May not be the worst idea...if you've been dancing all winter and we haven't got any snow... Sure you've got the moves right...?
    On a more serious note, that little penguin there, Happy Feet, was dancing for fish, not snow... Oh dear, we're all doomed - someone with the wrong moves, another dancing for fish, and I can't get hold of dispatch for western Europe to ask them to dump/deliver all this snow piling up in the factory! :-(

    Wont be any widespead sea level snow this year. Which in a whole is not a bad thing.

    Getting a bit ahead of yourself there , Granted it does not look great for this side of the year but we dont know what November and December has in store for us yet , Anything would be better than what we have just had /having

    I can't stand this :(

    I can't go through Winter without snow - I just can't!
    I can't believe we are heading into Spring after already having Spring. I am not much of a fan of the sun - frosty sunlight days, yes, but hot skin cancer sunlight, no. So I really don't care for Summer, much prefer Winter.

    Please can we have some snow/frosty weather soon, Snow Gods? I just can't bear it anymore :(:(:(:(


    PS If we don't get snow or frost or anything resembling winter, where can I go for a snow-filled holiday, preferably the latest this side of Summer (as in around April or later)?

    My local morning DJ chat show host mentioned the weather this am, he said it would be getting cold, well colder but not freezing.

    Mind you some are saying we'll get snow next week, it would need to be much colder to get snow, so I think it's a vicious rumour and I'm not taking it seriously, then again ....

    Happy B-Day Reiketsu :) sorry for the lack of b-day blizzards, that's just cruel to a winter baby.

    Thank God for M.T Cranium's hope forecasts...

    "FURTHER OUTLOOK ... There is a somewhat higher chance now that conditions will turn cold or even very cold late in the week, and snow may enter the picture"

    Like every other winter, I remain hopeful until at least St Paddy's day lol

    I happened to be listening to C103FM this am as as I woke, the presenter is an avid weather fan, I think he is John Foott, he mentioned about the charts going one way etc, etc. And mentioned that we probably are not getting snow this year.

    Then the Farm Talk show came one. Fascinating to listen to to from time to time they mentioned about the Blue tags for CD [a cow disease] and how they were making good progress before a compulsory scheme was introduced next year.

    They then mentioned the cattle trade and how the factories are short 6,000 a week so farmers are advised to hold out for the best prices. "The cattle have been very healthy for the last two years, we won't have the benefit of the snow this year unfortunately, and we are worried about the midges that had dies off in the snow last year and the year before.

    These are coming back now after an exceptionally mild winter, we are hoping to keep the dreaded Blue Tongue and other midget diseases that are decimating the French and German cattle herds at bay, but this mild winter is a worry."

    And it comes just as we were making progress and our beef being accepted in other markets blocked to us for diseases [in our heard] which are now almost eliminated. Still if we get a good snow next year we'll be back with a fighting chance.

    But think [scripture like] if the Snow Goddess looks after cows so much, how much more will she look after humans?

    And for the non veggies, if we have healthy cattle we have healthier meat. :)

    And a nice thick blanket of snow IS the good medicine. "the cattle loved it" I forget to mention that, and we love cattle who love snow. OK ;)

    It goes from -20 in the winter to 35+ in the summer. Winter lasts about 2 to 3 months after that it is great for the rest of the year.
