What's the weather like in your area 2

Mooooo

Grazing 1800/ 1900 covers with cows, 18 acres of heavy ground has that cover but won't be going into it with rain 2moro, is slow to dry as well. They are marking a bit now, will move to driest ground 2moro for the wkend.
Its the catch 22 of having half dry and half wet farm, you want to graze the wet half later in the year so you wont have to worry about it with fresh calvers in the spring but invariably most years younger caught with heavy covers on it being carried over, while trying to close the dry ground to have grass on that for the spring becomes more difficult

I broke a stake here just now driving it with the loader. First few inches soft enough but then met the dry ground and broke.

Was able to drive posts here with the sledge and no cro bar guide holes, ground was too wet for the loader

Hereabouts pigtails hurt your feet still driving them down :O
Looks to me at the moment for those of you down south that Saturdays rain will pass in 6 or 7 hours
It doesnt look like getting up here until evening but 20 to 30mm looks possible

Had to put these on the quad here, cows will be housed at night after the weekend as running out of dry ground

Winder what it'll be like?

Mooooo

Rain stated here an hour ago, a lot of surface water on roads already. If it's steady like this as predicted for the next 6 hours there'll be some amount of water after falling

Just started raining here

Buford T. Justice XIX

Raining here since 3am. Miserable day altogether but the cows seem happy enough out in it. Dropped down into covers of 1500-1600 and little damage done except around the gaps.

Still dry here. Cancelled a load of concrete that was booked for this evening though. Another load coming soon for the walls. The one we cancelled was for the floor

Looks like the monsoon season has started:(, looking like a wet winter. Some difference to the ploughing match!

Rain more or less stopped here now, just a heavy drizzle and cold wind around the place.

Weather forum is saying even if the storm misses that the Atlantic is messed up and could be wet for a few weeks
