Smasher of a day here. Starting to get windy so that bit rawer than this morning.
Last week's urea has giving the grass a kick. A shame it will be under cover by Friday.

Will be the first field in the country to turn to desert if climate change really takes a hold.☺

CloughCasey1 · 27-02-2018 2:20pm

Maybe better off being under cover., the insulation being ..protection from severe cold. I reckon the sooner you get a snow cover, the better for the grass..

Back snowing heavy again.
Starting to stick again.

Got the cows in even though they wanted to stay out.

Cabin fever starting to set in.

Say my name · 27-02-2018 5:38pm

A road accident on the duncannon line near murrintown.
Multiple cars involved.
Visibility was poor at the time with heavy blowing snow.
Hope no body was injured.

Take it handy folks!

You can keep it there thanks! Really hoping that we escape the worst of the bad weather...again.

I dunno how you're supposed to measure snow but I went out there with a tape and dipped it several times across a paddock here. There's 4 1/2 " so far. Just after a heavy enough shower.
It's deeper along the fence where it blew up against the windbreak.
It's a long time since I saw snow like that.

It doesn't feel as cold out as earlier either.

Hard Knocks · 28-02-2018 8:14am

-4 with some “powder” but that wind would go through you

You're supposed to use the plate meter....30 dips and walk the paddock in a w pattern..

_Brian · 28-02-2018 10:25am

-4.5 and 2-3cm of dry powdery snow.
Continuing to snow a bit here all the time.

Mooooo · 28-02-2018 10:41am

Bah humbug

whelan2 · 28-02-2018 10:45am

Fair bit of snow here. Kids out playing in it. Milking done. Powerhose frozen though. Should thaw later

kk.man · 28-02-2018 10:47am

Everthing fed and content...back to bed

wiggy123 · 28-02-2018 11:08am

-4 here, about 2ins snow on the ground... a grand spring day :-)

_Brian · 28-02-2018 11:19am

Cattle were out in snow when I went to feed them earlier.
They came into shed, ate their meal and are back out in the snow mooching about.

Really the only thing they don’t like is cold blowing rain.

jimmy G M · 28-02-2018 11:42am

What are conditions like around Durrow in Laois?

I need to travel up that area later on in the evening.

AntrimGlens · 28-02-2018 11:52am

Not as much as snowflake in existence around here, I'd take a full winter of this weather that we've had since Friday. Cold, yes, but not a lot worse than we sometimes get.
Sheep are standing around silage feeders happy out, no gutters, no sh*te and no lameness. Ewes come for their meal and lie at the hedge. Compared to about a month ago when i was pulling hoggs out of drifts and carrying them off the mountain I'll take this weather every time. Now it's likely gonna get worse tomorrow and we'll see snow but i love a good hard frost underfoot compared to gutters.
Spread the whole farm with fert at the weekend and you wouldn't see where the quad and sower were in the field compared to other years. As long as the east wind doesn't stay and everything turns brown then, it might shorten our seven month winter.

I’m not far from there about 15 miles and it’s bad enough here.

Mooooo · 28-02-2018 12:09pm

Anyone around clon what's it like?

whelan2 · 28-02-2018 12:16pm

Was -3 half an hour ago, now -1

Nekarsulm · 28-02-2018 12:29pm

Just enough snow to whiten the tarmac and grass here in Cavan. None at all in Ballyconnell, it's strange to see the mountains bright green & brown while fields a 10 miles away are white. Blue skies and sunny, -2 degrees.

wiggy123 · 28-02-2018 12:49pm

will the big snow come..

I says · 28-02-2018 12:50pm

-3c realfeel 3times colder than that about 4inches of snow and now falling constant for the last hour.

Snowing here in North Tipperary all morning. I just got back from my walk and there is about 3 ft of snow on the foot paths. Looking out the window at the moment and it's pelting down with massive white flakes. If this continues the whole town will be on lockdown it just hasn't stopped and this is before tomorrows main event.

They were bawling to get out after milking this morning. Just had them out the last few days so I could say I was grazing in February

Serious amount of snow falling now. It's heavy and sticking! Daughter is planning for a 'snow day'!

Very heavy here in Kildare. Worked from home today. Very happy with the company telling us to stay at home and my manager emailed me not to worry if i needed to do stuff at home.

As an ex employee (now self employed) isn't it nice that your employer is concerned about you. In the past I worked (7 weeks) for a company who wouldn't scrape you off the floor :mad:
