It’s not here in south Wicklow unfortunately

The rain Stephens day 2010 overnight cleared most of the snow here
Today the fields are still full of snow
Not a bit of green to be seen
Up the hills are in a bad way

It's fierce slow on the south coast to melt. It will take days and the fields are submerged. Hopefully that dry spell before all this will ease the impact on soil. Cloudy day and still cold. Bit of sun would be nice.

Fields are maybe 50% white here. Agree, the wee dry spell before this was really important to slow runoff, we’re seeing some ponding but not as bad as it could have been.

It has helped that much of the snow was blown to hedges/ditches where it will drain away and impact the land less.

It will be a huge impact to turnout dates and sikagentight as it was. Hopefully grazing that was there under the snow will survive rather than die off.

Drizzle and fog here. Better than snow anyday

Cold at -3 with a good frost. Got home just after twelve and had to feed the calves (71) and the teat feeders were frozen. My bad as I should have left them indoors. Heading to bed now and I'm NOT getting outta bed in the morning until I wakeup naturally, I'm tired to my bones.

At least 4 inches left in the fields here and drifts still from Emma
No hope of getting cows out for a forthnight I’d say
Never ever happened here before in March
The slowest thaw ever or it feels like that
Some quantity of snow fell around south Wicklow ,it was knee deep in the middle of the fields last week
We had the zurich rep out yesterday to view the shed wreckage
He said they had 80 farms to do in north Wexford south Wicklow alone and that’s just Zurich
Imagine how many fbd have

Can you verify this growth? This could be an hallucination..

It might be the grass straightening up after being flattened

Nope, definitely a bit there. We would be shallow soil over rock so we get good growth in spring with the heat from the rock warming up soils quickly but August balances it out and then some.

Some green appearing here in the snow at last today,does anyone know if a defibrillator will work on the grass and something for the crush injuries?

They say Spring moves up through Spain and France and then starts at the southwest coast, works it's way around the coast and then starts heading inland....so..

At the first instance that you are sure you saw a regrowth...I'm going at fert....
