The Chilly Blast Of Reality

No, I'm not talking about Irish finances. It's simply that the long range weather forecast I'm seeing shows -5c min temps for next weekend.

Of course forecasting the weather that far ahead is only a bit less fraught with error than trying to forecast long term climate change, so it may never happen. But I'd be lagging my leeks and looking for my langies, all precautionary like, nevertheless. My 50p bet is that cold winters are back on the agenda, and that the global warming industry is no longer an investment which will bring good returns.

The coonsils should expect all winters to be at least as bad as last winter, that way they wont be caught short again. After all, it is hard to figure it out. Winter = snow & ice, remedy, grit the roads. Apparrently some of the ski slopes in the highlands have re-opened and it is only something like 140 days since they closed when the last lot of snow melted

I'd rather have snow as the bloody misery we've had this weekend... did it stop raining for more than 30 mins at any point!!?

So would I [now I am not farming anymore that is] The place seems much cleaner when it snows, until the mess a quick thaw makes
