keepitcovert 842 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Out today with the mutts working the hedgerows suddenly spring has kicked in hawthorn breaking into leaf, oilseed rape that has grown a foot this week, end of season but theres a great feel good factor in the air, Saw a green woodpecker hammering on a tree, rooks cawing as i passed them by, chaffinches and bullfinches in full breeding colour, and thought how spring gets earlier every year. As a kid i remember march as being windy and freezing, global warming i reckon, but great to get out and enjoy. YIS KIC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baw 4,360 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I was talking to an auld guy in Inverness yesterday and he can never mind a winter as mild as this one. There's been f**k all snow to mention and hardly any frost. Frosty this morning but heating up nicely now. Amazing how better you feel when it's sunny 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I agree there Baw, nothing like getting the sun on your bones to put a spring in your step (no pun intended) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) The polar ice caps have not melted and the temp has no gone up since 2006 They predicted dooom. Now they are screaming its all down to a longer change in the weather NO SHIT SHERLOCK. The sun is going through explosive fazes thats dark spots to us. Earth is a tiny little speck orbiting the sun. The sun conrtols are weather pattens. For every globel warming theory there is one saying the opposite and my pine cones say good weather.

Malt 379 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm usually sorry to see winter end, but after all the bloody rain and shit I'm glad to see the sun shining and feel the warmth of spring this time round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
