As gardeners I think we are able to adapt to whatever we get. If it is mild, some stuff survives that might otherwise die, and, if it is cold more pests get killed off.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
a couple of weeks ago there was a thread on the worse winter in a million years! Then we had the warmest Halloween on record!!
This is Britain, in winter it gets cold, it rarely snows, in summer its slightly warmer, sometime with two or three hot days in a row which we call a 'heat wave', it rains occasionally (more in winter) and sometimes its dry.
Whenever people start talking about apocalyptic weather conditions (snow, cold, heat, whatever) I take it with a whole heap of salt as mostly it is fine grade cow manure of the male variety!
Oi u treeuga ,dont u go getting all wrapped up with the MALE bit, if ever youv been to a farm you wont see many MALE cows will you, No just the odd bull, so where does all the manure come from I ask myself, perhaps a fair share of it is FEMALE,!!!! thought i would just tidy that one up a bit girls,carry on. from your ever friendly male Alan4711 coolin a bit erein Muns,.,off 2 c the physio
I find it amazing that they pay millions of pounds to keep satellites in the sky to predict the weather, but the newspapers and Joe public can do if for free, about time someone told the met office not bother any more.

How long before someone comes up with the old 'lots of berries means a hard winter' myth
In the sticks near Peterborough
higher blackley weather station
I used to have a similar one, made of a nice piece of Cleveland ironstone on a bit of string.
forecasts went as followed:
if the rock is wet - it is raining
if the rock is swinging from side to side - it is windy
if rock has disappeared - its REALLY windy
if the rock is casting a shadow - it is sunny
if rock is bouncing up and down - there is an earthquake happening!
treehugger you forgot "if you can't see it - foggy, and if it's turned white - snow"
