I hope the cold and all that rain does is not set back for the growers.
Great to get an idea about the areas you mention - I keep using relief maps to get an idea of the altitudes etc  - A level geography over 30 years ago has a lot to answer for.
Our forecasts keep changing - basically they have no idea - we should have had storms after the hot bout but not so much as a morning dew. I cut the grass before the expected rain and the sun has dried it already. Send seeweed as an official weather forecast seems a waste of time here ( Limousin, 500 meters )

Here at 1000' in southern Scotland the blizzards have gone and we have brilliant sunshine.  It was minus 5 last night (minus 4 in the greenhouse, inside the polytunnel but my lettuce seedlings survived).  Yesterday the wind was viciously cold but today it has dropped enough to be ok.  There are still little pockets of snow and the hills all around are all white, but mostly green and dry here.
My ewes are all sunbatheing today
