    :lunapic 130165696578242 5: I don't read too many papers, always full of doom and gloom and inaccurate weather forecasts :lunapic 130165696578242 5:, maybe they think if they keep forecasting a winter from hell they'll be right eventually and then they can say "We told you so"!! :heehee:

          If they make that forecast every year they will eventually get it right. Then they'll keep telling everyone they were right for months to come.

          Fortunately, we never get any newspapers so the predicted hard winter can't affect us! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

              My though was that the cold Spring delayed the blossom, and when it came Bees were about, no frosts, so much more blossom sets than normal, thus giving us a mast harvest.

              But I think that the pundits say they have no idea what causes Mast years?
