Snowing since 5am here in Mid Wales and a bitter wind.

Well I suppose it will melt and we did need some water.

[chairmanphil]

well we have had very little rain TBH, well under an inch it seems to be all around us but not dropping here!

[MAK]

Well they forecasted storms and  heavy rain for today (Limousin France) BUT still no rain and a drying wind in the sun. Had to water the garden again and the ducks water looks terrible.
can anyone send a link that shows me how to do a rain dance.

[chairmanphil]

could do with the same here Mak, it rained hard and we got about a inch but the ground is still very dry and we need alot more!

[MAK]

Now we have a forecast of dry with sun until a risk of storms ( risque d'orages  ) on Wednesday. Same as last weeks forecast that was wrong.
Fortunately I can get water from a stream still as the spring is just above us. I have taken to try and water a bit of the dust bowl left by our last pigs in the hope that something will grow for the pigs that arrive in a few weeks.Farmers are delivering water to their cattle down the road here - I would rather see the village turn out to herd the cattle into the lake from where theyare taking water. That would be a site as the old lady on a crutch is normally the supervisor when the move cattle from field to field past our door.

been raining on and off now for 2 days and tomorrow is a washout or so they say. 

[MAK]

Thanks for that ChairmanPhil - grass at our back door is dead hanging on in the dust - the stream is just a trickle and I am fed up of carrying watercans.
On the plus side i am collecting loads of dry fire wood and T shirts don't take much washing or drying in the sun.

[chairmanphil]

been pouring with rain all day. we have puddles in the lanes and all the water butts are full and the garden happy

[MAK]

Yes - we had some - a few showers ! So pleased until I tried to dig up a leek for dinner - still can't get a spade in the ground and dust fell off the roots when I hit it. Think we need a few days worth.
