your going to be getting another heavy dumping of the white stuff.

crikes nearly spring and your still getting snow...crazy :S


I know this is irrelative compared to poor Japan :( :(
 
Snow isn't making it as far as East Fife, just constant rain and freezing cold. There was me thinking I was getting closer to riding outdoors in my Saturday evening lesson! lol. No complaints though - not compared to the extremes so much of the rest of the world is experiencing!

Sorry to hijack, but any news on seeing your potential loan Merlywerly?
 
We have had heavy snow showers here in cumbria this afternoon from 4 till about 7 30
Luckily it had rained hard this morning so didn't lay!
Forecast more though for sat and sun typical when I have just got a new saddle that I'm desparate to ride in!
 
Its been trying VERY hard for the last three days but now its brought its friends along called freezing temps and frosty mornings :(

Not happy my fields had just stared to dry out :mad:
 
Hope it is all just a vicious rumour for you:) Or, you can take my weather if you prefer :D Actually, please take my weather, I am so fed up with winter now. I saw Christi's photos, now she really does have scary weather.
This was yesterday, when it rained all day and reduced everything to slush:

Yep, that's it.

Awful isn't it? :mad: You get it worse than us I think, as we miss out on most of the lake effect being quite far inland from Erie.
I love living in a country where the seasons are so clearly defined, but the Winter/Spring transition is hellish:( I wouldn't actually mind snow, but a decent dumping please, not just the pathetic 3" or 4" we are gettting currently.

I am just waiting for the ground to dry a bit so I can get out there with the harrow and the roller and sort it out a bit. Right now, even the ATV is getting mired down because the water is just sitting on the top, the ground hasn't thawed more than a few inches down.
