Well, after last winter, which was fairly wet over here on the west coast we had as wet a summer as I can remember. Farmer mates were rubbing their hands together as subsoil moister was as good as they had seen in ages.
I upset a couple by suggesting that we would have a dry winter, unintentionally.
They countered with as long as we can get the crop up she'll be apples and pears ( all ok).
I live by the weather as they do and we all look to the boffins long range forecasts, the boffins only make educated guesses but a cold spell of a week doesn't prove anything.
Great for a cheap shot and a stir but over here out west we've hardly need a jumper or the tracky daks.
Can we do a rain dance as I'm sick of looking at my Cocky mates with dust and dirt on their bottom lips , their dragging them through the dust that much
The politicians can hunt for votes in the big city the primary producers have to deal with today's weather and my front lawn is looking brown.
