  1. Really noticing the loss of daylight hours now.  Have lost quite a bit of afternoon patchwork and quilting time 😔.  Trying to cut material with a rotary cutter in fading light isn't sensible so I am having to give it up around half three as at best I waste material and at worst could lose a finger.  Difficult to cut with the light on as it reflects off the rule.

    Yep have cut mine twice in November and if the current weather trend stays will probably need one more cut before winter.

    Yes this is the problem.  Mine has grown but I’m going to ignore it.  Just don’t fancy getting the mower out yet again from its winter hibernation shed.

    Yep, my dads farm was near Macclesfield and he told me all about the deep snow and drifts in that February. He also knew some cattle farmers from the Vale of Clywd and they were locked in deep snow drifts for weeks on end. I remember as a young lad the severe cold of 62/63, which was probably a once in a life time experience for longevity for the British Isles. Sure other cold spells since have been notable but not of the prolonged  duration of  62/63.

    Oh yes.  My mum is now 90 bless her and if cold weather is under discussion she will always bring up 1947 which she feels was more severe than 1962/63 in some ways.

    Took me long enough 😂

    I started off by working out North Staffordshire/Cheshire had heavy snow in 1947 and then had to follow the clues working west.

    I am getting fed up with all this ongoing warmth, so think now is the time for a ramp. The long term winter charts for CFS certainly wetting the appetite for snow lovers. Only a few on this forum will have memories of 46/47. Certainly not me but do remember 62/63 as something special. For a bit of fun can anyone name the town in the picture below taken in March 1947 when 1.47m of snow was recorded ? Clue and its not in Scotland !

    I’ll go for somewhere in North Staffordshire, possibly Stoke?
