What's the weather like in your area 2

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.

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.

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

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:

Ive been self employed for a different company before and they wouldnt even pay for an evening meal when we worked in London for them.  Id put in a few extra hrs with this crowd every week to keep on top of stuff. Happy  i do now.

Yep plus most of the slurry that was spread during the last few days will be washed into streams, drains and rivers :mad:
We really need to sort out some sort of flexibility for EU regulations regarding slurry spreading.

It's bitter cold and east wind. Hoggets that are out went to east facing ditch after feeding them.

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I live in Nenagh and the snow was pretty heavy so I would expect the roads around North Tipperary to be tredchous in the morning as the snow from today has now frozen over.

That's one thing my father always says about the difference between cattle and sheep in bad weather.
Cattle will stick the head down and walk into the wind till they get to a ditch and then turn around and turn their back to the wind with the added benefit of shelter of the ditch from the weather.
Sheep will do the opposite and walk with the wind until they reach a ditch. But now the sheep are standing at a ditch with no shelter. It could be blizzard conditions and the sheep will just stand there as the snow blows across the field and builds up against the ditch burying them in a drift.

Snow wind and lightning. Massive flash with thunder down on top of it and power went out.

You're in west cork Yeah? Had the snow and wind no lightning tho. Gone clear out now you'd nearly think morning was about to break. You can see with a small wind the way the snow deposits only a few inches in the open yard and could be a foot then elsewhere. Getting parlour going will be fun in the morning

Office view bringing up some grit, fair play to the council for providing it, wouldn't if got the milk lorry in today without it
