Let’s pray for CNN!
August 24th, 2011 | Harvest
I’m probably starting to sound like a broken record, as I’m sure I repeat the same story every year – please forgive me, I’m just going a bit senile….
It’s that time of year when I start to follow a number of different weather forecasts to see what the final pre-harvest days will bring, and also to look for a window of opportunity to start picking.
I mention ‘different’ weather sites, and that, I’m afraid, is the significant part – all the different sites that I follow are all giving me conflicting information. In their defence I would say that the summer of 2011 has been very unsettled to date, and it must be a bit of a nightmare trying to forecast accurately what is going to happen, but unfortunately that doesn’t help me too much.
Indeed, the picture that I have included here is a ‘screen grab’ from the CNN site that shows fabulous, settled, sunny weather for the coming days. This was in contrast to other sites that indicated odd days of cloud and rain, and so in the end it simply becomes a question of who to believe.
Me? I will just stick my head out of the window and see what’s happening – a system that never fails!
