Have we got away with it??

[toppy72]

Just having a quick look at the weather forecast for the next two weeks to plan rugging/hunting etc there is hardly a low temp in sight let alone snow. The daffs are emerging as are the snow drops who thinks this winter will have a sting in its tail and who thinks we have escaped the cold.

 

[Capriole]

nooooo dont say it!!!!

 

[treacle_beastie]

I reckon we will get snow on 2nd or 9th Feb

 

[Tinsel Trouble]

you've jinxed us all!

I plan to give my mare her last clip next week, you can bet your life that a proper cold spell will happen precisley 12 hours after, around the time I will be setting out on a chilly/fresh/bouncy hack!!!

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

My betting opened in October & I forecast the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb to have cooooold stuff.

TFF, stil hoping she is wrong

 

[welshies]

My daffs are coming through, reckon we'll get a snap in late Feb just to make winter drag on a little bit longer! I am going to try and carry on a little later this year though as i always seem to start slowing down for winter in Septermaber as that's when winter used to seemed to start, now it seems to be more November! Im doing myself out of time there!

 

[Fools Motto]

I WANT it to get cold. Frosty starts are bliss compared to wind blown and rain soaked not to mention mud up to me eye balls.
Come on folks, I can't be the only one.

A little bit of snow will bring the kid in me out to play - and thats a proper laugh!! Nowt wrong with that either. lol

 

[Puppy]

I'd far rather we had a cold snap for the next month than this damn rain! God I hate the mud. Hurry up Spring!!

 

[*hic*]

Ah, I'd better go and stock up on haylage!

 

[Capriole]

frosty hard ground I dont mind, its quite nice, but snow? noooo, i hate it. With a passion.

Obviously there is no inner child in me wanting to come out to play Only a boring grownup that has several horses to see to and finds snow VERY INCONVENIENT

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Winter weather in order of my preference:

1. Dry....sun, gentle breeze
2. Frosty...
3. Really heavy frost (the type where you have to break ice more than twice a day)
4. Snow
5. Rain

and items 4 & 5 are only that way round since Litte Fuzzy is not 100%, otherwise snow would be at the bottom of my list instead

 

[muddygreymare]

It wouldn't surprise me if we had snow in july this year considering the randomness of the weather currently! It seriously can't make it's mind up, either be winter and be cold, or be warm, not a mixture of both! Can you tell british weather irritates me?

 

[Penny Less]

Not been very cold in the south at all, I still have two very nice new thick rugs that I havent used! Why 2 or 9th Feb " Beastie" are you getting wed on that date or something and expecting the Law of S*d !!

 

[treacle_beastie]

It was just a thing when I was a kid that it always snowed on my friends or dads birthday and I don't think it has missed a year yet though some may have only seen a light dusting and I have moved to bristol since which doesn't seem to get much anyway!

 

[Devonshire dumpling]

you've jinxed us all!

SPIT???????????????? What ritual is that???????? ROFL!!

 

[CatStew]

I really don't want any more rain or snow! I don't mind if it's windy or freezing, but I'm sick to death of wading through mud! At least if it's freezing you can stand on it and not ankle deep in it!

It would also be nice to pick my horses' feet out without getting handfulls of mud just from picking their feet up!

Forecast for Oxford next 24 hours:

Oh crap! Just seen forecast for 26th, 20-30cm of snow...goody

I'll take hard ground and snow over rain any day thankyou.

 

[ISHmad]

Far too early and definitely tempting fate to think we've got away with it yet!

 

[Jesstickle]

I'd far rather we had a cold snap for the next month than this damn rain! God I hate the mud. Hurry up Spring!!

Agreed! I hate it too

 

[Tinsel Trouble]

SPIT???????????????? What ritual is that???????? ROFL!!

Have you never heard of it? when you say something cursed that might bring you bad luck like... Parelli (*spits) ... you have to spit the curse out!

 

[Suziq77]

you've jinxed us all!

*throws salt over wrong shoulder, spins three times and spits*

Whilst saluting all solitary magpies for miles around.....

Give me rain over wind and snow any day please! At least I can still ride in the rain.

 

[rhino]

Not actually seen the forecast for us but as there's already snow lying it doesn't make much difference

 

[Little Squirrel]

Can't beat a cold snap. Kills the bugs!
