My 30cm thermometer has fallen to 0.0c this morning. !!!
50cm soil at 1.5c and 100cm soil at 3.4c. I only have a thin snow cover so the ground is now completley solid. Garden gates dont open properley, shed doors jammed, water butts solid all the way through with ice (then they roll over on their side) Full 7 days now where the Daily Max has not reached zero 21 air frosts and 24 grass frosts Life in the freezer continues.

Paul C Brampton NE Cumbria www.bramptonweather.co.uk That really is a big freeze. Certainly was cold here - my Air Min this month MS9.2, but last 3 nights Mins MS0.5 and PS 0.2 last night. Maxes each of 3 days approaching PS02. Light rain on and off most of 22nd. NO Snow lying last 3 days and only 1 cm before. Local news showed a resumption of the carrot harvest as temperatures have risen. I had wrongly asumed that the fields would have been frozen salid beneath the surface. NSS Mid Suffolk |

Getting crops out of the ground in '47 and '63 was a serious problem leading to food shortages. I wonder how big the "buffer stocks" are of staples like the root crops? -- Cheers Dave.

Mine proved that last winter when I forget to empty it. Doh! Does it depend on what material the butt is made of? -- John Hall "I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly, will hardly mind anything else." Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-84) |
