  1. So depressed. Desperate for rain and earlier forecasts showed storms and rain heading towards the Chilterns over the next few days. Now changed to hot, humid weather. Not another drought
  2. It will be a crisis if there isn't enough grass high enough to cut as hay and silage for winter fodder for farm animals and horses. May and June are the growing times and it isn't growing enough in an early drought.
  3. Last year's drought in the South East was a nightmare for people with grazing animals. We rely on them having plenty of grass for them to eat, it also eases the financial burden of feeding them. We had to use all our bought in stock of expensive winter hay because there was no grass left just baked and cracked earth. The lack of rain isn't just an inconveniance for domestic gardeners and an enjoyable time of fine weather. It is a crisis
  4. This lack of rain is seriously worrying...being in the South East, last summer's drought was so bad for wildlife, grazing animals and for farmers and growers. I had no grass for my two mares. Now the ground is rock hard again with wide cracks, I am worried sick
  5. I missed the snow in December , I was in hospital for three weeks with no view of the outside world .So yet another snow less winter....Earlier today there was a high percentage of snow in my area. Now it has all gone. I am moving to Canada....or Norway
  6. I'm just fed up with the Netweather seven day forecast giving 95 percent chance of snow for my region (the Chilterns) which changes every time to 0. I vowed not to check anymore after one night the 95 percent at 2am became 0 percent within minutes. Yet years later I am still looking
  7. All the high percentage of snow forecast for my area, the Chilterns , has gone from the next weeks forecast....down to zero snow for us
  8. As a person with heart disease and ruematism, the heat is dangerous, so not a fan of high temperatures and humidity. But my biggest concern living in the drought ridden south east is for our natural enviroment. The land is rock hard and barren, streams and small rivers have dried up. We had a frightening night when a neighbouring farm had a huge fire in a stubble field...only the lack of a prevailing wind and the courage of the fire service stopped it reaching our dry as a bone land. The sight of a red sky at 1am in the UK was really chilling
  9. I clearly remember the end of October 2011 being exceptionally hot. I was in Brighton for a conference and there was a freak heatwave. T shirt and icecream weather! Even late at night it was warm enough to stroll along the seafront in summer clothes
  10. Nothing but seasonal average temperatures and rain on both the Netweather seven and fourteen day forecasts
  11. Some unfortunate people get SAD disorder from lack of sunlight. I have a disorder that makes me low and depressed from lack of snow in February...the last true winter month. The last chance . I ought to emigrate to Canada! Foolishly, every November I log into the Netweather model thread, looking for good, snowy news. Every recent year is a roller coaster of raised then cruelly dashed expectations. In the past, I have remembered snowy Februaries and short lived but spectacular snow in March and April but the sun is too strong, the ground too warm for it to last by then.. This years expectations at the beginning of the winter season seemed so promising. We had one fall of snow that lasted one day. Yet, like The Terminator, next November.. I'll be back....
  12. Am I the only one to find the Netweather Seven Day forecasts a tad frustrating! For example, our area was given 60 percent chance of snow overnight and into the morning and 90 percent between 9 am and 12pm but not even a flake! The predicted temperatures tonight are scary cold... -8 and as we are in a micro climate frost pocket here, that could well be much colder. Chesham was in the news twice over the years as being the coldest place in the UK at -21. Odd for a little market town nestling in the Chilterns! My husband said that the BBC weather is predicting a rapid thaw. We have horses, so making plans how best to care for them means knowing what the short term forecasts will be.
  13. Puny light snow on top of rain up here in the Chilterns, cannot believe it will be there by morning. So disappointing
  14. Latest BBC weather forecast seems at variance with the Netweather forecast and the model forum satelite projections...the BBC is not showing the same cold forecasts....confusing!
  15. The Beast From the East? More likely the Wuss From the Russ...! Just winter , as most of us on here know. overhyped by the media. The Daily Excess of course bleated about A Killer Snow Storm to hit the whole of the UK....yawn.....
