Does anyone know what the long range weather forcast is?   Any sign of this cold weather ending.

Many thanks for that.  I think I will go to bed for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks for the link.

Now what the h*** am i going to do to.

Is the cold weather going to end before June ?

 I want to plant some seeds and I want to plant them now.

I hope it changes soon, my soil seems to be either too frozen to dig, or too wet to dig.

You want to complain flowerlady- it's goign to me -10 here according to that site! :o Think I'll get out my heated propagator & plant some seeds indoors just to feel as if I'm doing something!

Really useful link - I checked my area and found -10 windchill on Wednesday :'(  but at least there is no rain forecast - the last thing my clay soil needs is more rain.....but then I looked at the following week and guess what..rain, rain and more rain :'( :'(

Oh blimey, we've not got much rain forcast, but -4 degrees C on Wednesday morning with the wind chill factor making it feel like -10. :o :o :o

Makes me feel a little less guilty about not being able to get down to the lottie to put weed sheet down/plant anything!

Friday is my allotment day, but we're due heavy snow. I know digging snow in is great for the soil, it is packed with nitrogen, but it is hard and cold work.

Did an Eskimo tell you this? Don't forget It's only the yellow snow, the stuff you can't eat that has the nitrogen!

I use Firefox as my web browser (security/usability reasons) and you can install an add-on that tells you the weather forecasts for the next few days at the bottom of the window. Really easy for me to peek and see if we're expecting any frosts - it tells me Manchester's in for -4 tonight, -3 tomorrow night and -2 Thursday night.

Brr!

www.weather.co.uk is quite good - it gives a 10 day forecast.  It looks as though the frosts are with us through into the weekend, but then a rise of several degrees from the start of next week - typically 3C at night 8C during the day.  Still not exactly tropical, but better than we have right now.

Bright sunshine and blue skies here right now-only prob is---------it`s ruddy cold >:(

[supersprout]

Lifted the nets on my cabbage in the bright sunshine and thought 'that's a lot of whitefly'. Silly me, was a snow flurry  ::)

If you click on this,
MetCheck Soil Forecasts
and you have already entered your area or post code, then it should take you to a graph that give you forecasts for soil temparature at the surface, at 0-10cm and at 10-40cm and soil moisture levels at 0-10cm and 10-40cm.  Don't know how accurate it is as it is quite new and I am just going to compare the graph to real conditions as the year progresses to give me a way to interpret what is shown.
