Heavy rain since about half 9. The weekend isn't given to bad so hopefully it won't set us back to much.

Haven't even got any cattle out yet. Would normally have a the silage ground grazed fertilised and roll it around Easter. I won't get the chance to graze it at this rate. Would normally take the first cut around the 3rd week of may. So tis time to change the plan

Dry here. Hope it stays away until milking time

Damp up here but by no means wet. Strong cold wind out though. Just brought 2 heifers back in, they only calved yesterday but were cold looking.

Some long fecking winter this year.:(

A few lads here nearly out of silage. After bringing in the zero grazer. Cutting acres just to fill 1 load. You'd cut the same paddocks with a lawnmower.

A lot of slurry gone out the last few days. I'd say it's on the move again today - running downhill- with the volume of rain falling.

I says

Dry morning here starting raining at one o clock miserable bastard of a day now.

Same here (Waterford). I had the washing out for herself and everything but had to make a run and bring it in at dinner time. Rain, wind, and cold here now. Not a blade of grass growing. Bought more nuts for the sheep yesterday.

Tá mo croí briste leis an aimsir agus tá ana bron orm.

Funny how certain bits of Irish from school stay with ya. I can't remember the Irish for sunny, dry, or mild though!!!

Rain easing up a bit now thank God. The jeep is telling me that it's 10Degrees out there so at least there's a bit of growth about.

Meirbh is mild in NW anyway....far from it though!....although I can notice a slight greening on fields without sheep in last few days,no fertilizer out yet.
Drizzling rain here all day in Leitrim....the type that really wets you.

Met Eireann have launched a new site, but the weather is still crap

https://beta.met.ie/ they are looking for feedback over on the weather forum.

Say my name

Needless to say the forecast is still not great.
It don't look to be any great improvement till the 2nd week of April and even then no guarantee.
May just take every day as she comes.

I find this evening to be very cold as well as wet. I think the worst evening that came apart from the snow.
The ewes and lambs are going mad, very unsettled outside. I can't bring them in due to space.
