and when it rained

Purely the reason I have my gun set up so I can drop the scope and run open sights,rain not so much of an issue especially this time of year when it’s still warm when wet.

there actually wasnt much rain (or wind) just a few short downpours it was humid as and the place was almost deserted one of the team made sure there was venny to take home.....a good weekend all round

like Blondes.

I guess the Met service were permanently scarred by Bola, and ever since have erred on the side of (extreme) caution.

Bit of a shame really, accurate forecasts would seem to be something lots of people would find handy.

the big snow dumps we saw down here in early 2000s caused a shite load of damage......and the big winds 3-4 years ago did the same,irrigators have to be moved till parralel to wind,tied down to anything the farmers can find or drive to them.... the 2nd time we got huge winds the power went out before they got around... the flow on effect was parched pastures and poor income for rest of season.... kind of understandable they push panic button...still a pain in arse all the same.
