Climate change is really causing weather anomalies Well if your right the climate has been changing as far back as I can remember ( 70+years ) we have had these anomalies ! would you like to show some real proof to these new anomalies, or are you just quoting the hype that is being spouted by the likes of Ban oil, Ban Beef, ban lead shot , ban owt that may get headlines !

Just got back from what was bitterly cold day , left mine this morning with it being minus 3 , then the mist turned to fog and the conditions were just on the border line , we carried on and it was very difficult to pick up , if you stood to far back you couldn't see what the guns were firing at and if you stood to close you had a job to follow any pricked birds , came out from dinner a little after two and it was back to minus 2 , done two more smallish drives and called it a day when the light was going and the fog was getting dense , not one of the best days to be out all day , but there yer go , all part of the package .

Below freezing all day and luckily no wind or it would have felt even colder. Small day (36 birds i think) but enjoyed by all. I wasn't shooting today.

Glad you had an enjoyable day despite the cold conditions , I feel the cold now and it wasn't one of the best days to be standing around to long , touch wood I have got a really good heater in my car and was spoilt with the steering wheel getting warm and the seats were also nice and warm , trouble is you felt the cold when you had to get back out , certainly getting soft in my ole age MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushkin Thankyou. Pleased you like it. When we’re on the lower slopes of the Fells the North Pennines are less than a mile away, and we can see clear over to the Lakes Fells in the West. It really is stunning scenery; we often see the guns taking pictures from their pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Just let work now I'm going to be late tomorrow, I usually travel up the night before but apparently the A590 is a right mess, probably only a couple of inches of snow and everything comes to a halt. I've driven in all sorts before but I'm not setting off knowing it's bad and getting stuck behind a load of folk panicking because they can't see the white lines.

BlaserF3 Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 There has been a lot of snow today in the Lakes today, roads closed everywere, loads of cars abandoned, people walking home, village halls opened throughout the area for people to shelter, not good to be honest. It will take a couple of days to get back to normal, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciurus Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 @Mice!Windermere at 4 pm, it’s still snowing at 9pm. Roads are total chaos and gridlocked ,cars abandoned everywhere .

Minky Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) What is that white stuff. I have seen it very occasionally. Is it frost.? This morning there was a sort of frozen drizzle on the ca4s and the road. But it was all gone by 10 o'clock. I went out and checked her car out and ran the engine so that it was warm inside for her and the grandkids to go to a pantomime. When she came back this afternoon, fog had comedown a bit getting heavier until 1/4 hour ago when it has been lifting..a bit. IF we ever do see that white stuff, ( once in the blue moon) it is generally all gone by lunchtime. IF we do get the white stuff it could be the beginning of the end of the world as we know it and we might have to fly south,,,like.. to the canaries. Ps.. how do you know if there is too much space snow.? The dog disappears into the snow when it goes out for a poop. And you can't throw a shovel of snow up on top of the pile. Of snow. Not dog poop Edited December 2, 2023 by Minky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
