Wind picked up, sky's gone very dark with the arrival of heavier snow. Visibility less than 300 meters. Quite a turnaround from my previous post!

18 minutes ago, Stormeh said:The charts are all over the place at the moment regarding the possible cold and snow next week. I do still think that many of us will see a good dumping over the next couple of weeks, we are long overdue a good snow event.
The last time it snowed properly up here was a few years back. Silly snow depths with modest elevation. The forestry sign in the picture approximately 4 feet high.

2 hours ago, Northernlights said:Finally an air frost at -3c.Very welcome. Have explained to several other farmers that a frosty spell would give the saturated ground the best chance to dry out as it usually means there no rainfall. Below the frozen surface the water slowly drains away and on the puddled surface cracks are made to help this draining process when it thaws into the dryer subsoil
We are also approaching the time of years when a long spell of frosty spell of frosty weather results in sublimation ( water goes from solid state ice or snow straight to a gas or water vapour bypassing the liquid state ) thus speeding up the ground drying process even more. Thus there is hope for flooded/heavily tracked fields to have the damage repaired . This is especially true of carrot fields where they have forced huge tractors through to harvest them for the supermarkets on a weekly basis to satisfy their just in time delivery in spite of the soil damage done. Usually takes soil several years to recover from a crop of carrots this usually reflected in a high rent for these fields as following years crops are usually poorer.
The farmers have been busy in the field in front of the house since first light. Carts of topsoil? has been dumped into the very wet sections of the field. I suspect they will be delighted with the colder,drier and brighter conditions.
