I know it's non scientific to talk about the law of averages ,but it does
seem funny that the drought sricken areas of central and eastern England
seem to be making up the deficit in bucket loads now (north Essex over 2"in
3 days ) for instance .
Secondly,how long does it take for the 6" of water covering most of England
at the moment to seep down into the aquafers ?,all the ponds in this area
are full to the brim,and with very little evaporation going on now because
of the perishingly low temps,it must be going somewhere,oh yes ,the River
Lee is two miles away,and the drains are also overflowing. All the trees not
standing in water ,are in danger of hyponatremia (look it up) and all the
messages continuing to flow from the 'experts' urging us not to be
complacent,because next winter maybe dry quite frankly ****es me off !

Now that feels better.
