Being isolated from the world and all JBP sounds like heaven to me Gary. Here in Chelmsford (not a million miles away from you), we also had a covering of snow, I woke up to four and a half inches but that decreased once I got out of bed. I do remember the winter of 1963 and that was what you called a substantial amount of snow. The schools kept going as did everything else, but of course these days the snowflake generation just hide away, gets my goat that 🐐 Cheers and take care, stay virus free. 👍👍👍👍👍
Blah ha ha, best comment ! i had to pin it to the top ! thanks Mike, you always make me laugh. Yes its becoming a country full of softies, to precious to do anything that involves extra effort ! it drives me mad as well. If it cant be dont with the press of a button they struggle ! it gets my goose up ! thanks Mike, keep safe and well, take good care
Hope everyone is safe. Thanks for popping by. We have had even more snow and also snowing as i write this ! we have just over a foot of snow and 2 foot drifts in places. We are now on the powdered milk which is very nice. keep safe in the snow and ice, dont bother going out !! take care and thankyou for all your support and kind words.
I really enjoy this channel ! My neighbor is from the same area in England as you.He called me and asked me to come over to look at his free chickens,so I brought a box to get them.He told me that he did not say he had free chickens.He said he had free chickens...you know," One,two free."😀 We are having severe frigid and snowy weather here in USA, state of Missouri.He called first thing for us to come take him out in the four wheel drive. He is in his 80's and going four wheeling! He loves gardening and talks a lot about peas. Stay warm and safe!
Hello Molly, Blah ha ha, yes us English people are a weird bunch ! ha ha. i could do with an elderly neighbour as well, they have the best gardening knowledge. Thanks so for your comment, i do enjoy a good laugh, keep safe and well, take good care.
So comfy. Love the snow, would be amazing where you are - battening down the hatches and hunkering down to ride out the storm. Everything looks amazing.
Hello Stephen, it is nice being away from the busy towns, im enjoying the peace and quite these days as im getting older, we used to live in a busy town, but it started to drive me mad ! winters are a lot bleaker in the country ! roll on bloody spring ! thanks for your kind comment, keep safe and well, take care
Hello, no way ! thats cold ! its like an ice age ! our worst here with this snow is just -7c, i know that up in Scotland was -23 the other day ! where about are you, you may have told me before but i have so many comments now from people all over, the old brain struggles to keep up ! thanks Roger keep safe, well and warm.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD I’m in central Manitoba, the entire west of Canada has been engulfed in a polar vortex. Weird anomaly. Today was -33 in the am. Suppose to warm up to -15 tomorrow. I’m looking forward to that. -2 forecast for next weekend thankfully. Two weeks of -30 to -49 is enough for this Canuck
@@rogerpilon2588 wow ! thanks for this info Roger, your home must have a lot of insulation to cope with these temperatures, I've insulated our home as best as can be done but its a solid single rubble wall construction over 220 years old, it would never cope in them temperatures you are receiving, thanks Roger keep safe, warm and well.
You guys are well prepped, nice one, love the lanterns absolute magic. I lived in Finland for three years Gaz, with an Australian wife lol, funniest thing watching an Aussie walk in 2 meters of snow to the shops, lol, cracked me up. My minivan would be buried most nights and I would have to dig it out every morning. We had winter tyres so it was no problem. My Uncle has a road clearing business so he would come and do my lane, one of the lucky ones lol. Stay safe people.
Hello, you sure have had an interesting life going here there and everywhere, i really admire that ! 2 meters of snow in the UK would lead to the economy collapsing ! ha ha, we are shit at cold snowy weather in the UK. thanks Moose, keep safe and well and thanks for all your great comments !
HI Gary, Glad to see that you are prepared for the worst. It is always good to do that. I see Geoff has similar weather to you, Up here near Kings Lynn, We've been very lucky, minimal snow and winds. Stay safe and Keep life simple
Hello Steve, its good to hear from you, glad you have missed the worst of the snow, the warmer weather is coming next week ! yippeeee ! i hate cold weather, its no fun being in the garden when its cold, yes i watched Geoff just the other day with his snow, he is not too far from us here, i would love to visit his land one day, its amazing what he has and he has some fantastic plans with it. Thanks, keep safe, well and warm.
Hello, looks beautiful but feels horrible ! the snow has still not melted here, im bored of it now ! thanks for popping by, keep safe and well, take care
Hi Gary. Thanks for your latest vid. You had a bit more snow than we have had up to now. We are in very different environments, you are in a low land forrest situation, whilst we are in a pennine moorland environment. We consider that we came off quite lightly this time, no power outages and we were not actually snowed in for long. Great to see some of your preparations for the adverse weather. I have a lamp similar to yours, mine is a bit older, it cam from my grandparents house. It looks as though the snow wasn't as bad as was forecast for either of us but living where we do, we have to be prepared. Great to see you all enjoyed the sledging! All else is ok here. Keep warm, stay healthy and take care. I hope you managed to stay away from Vicky and her bricks! Johnny. North West England.
Hello Johnny, i always enjoy reading your comments, The weather has been lovely today, 14c and sunny. I have been in the garden most of the day planting onion sets, about 200 of them, could even be more . Its lovely your lamp has been passed down, a very special item. I have been looking at cranberry coloured glass ones, they seem to be the most sort after lamps on ebay, what colour is your one ? The cost of running an oil lamp is now so expensive compared to an efficient electric bulb ! but i do love them. Last night i watch wartime Britain on 5 on demand, ( mainly about make do and mend, food and veg growing) with my oil lamp on, a small glass of gin, wood burner running, a perfect step back in time ! bollocks still intact ! Thanks Johnny take good care
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Thanks Gary, what a nice thing too say. Yes our daytime temperatures have shot up- not quite as high as yours, lol! You have been busy in the garden. Yes our lamp must be one of the few around where we live and not that long ago there would have been many. There are many on essay, so the cranberry glass are the most desirable then, this one has a clear chimney and a white glass globe, my late Dad could remember it and others being in regular use at home. Yes there is something about the light from oil lamps- and candles. You certainly gave yourself an atmosphere to watch that war time program in. The gin would be enough, lol! I'm glad you are fully complete Gary! Take care. Johnny. North West England.
Hi Gary, keep the vids coming, you always make us laugh, it looks cold where you are but not as cold as Ireland! I had to snap the dog off a lamppost yesterday brrrrrr
Blah ha ha, thanks for you comment and the laugh, we have no intention of stop making videos yet, but one day that time will come , thanks, keep safe and well, take care
We've been lucky here. Escaped the rat race three years ago and now living in North Devon. Haven't had any snow or even that much rain and this morning the sun is shining. Seems surreal seeing most of the country under snow and if the milkman had turned up your milk would've probably been frozen anyway by the looks of it. Great vid as usual. Stay warm and safe.
Hello, North Devon is such a lovely place ! i have had a few holidays there in the past. today we had milk delivered for the first time since the snow. we got it in before it froze. minus temperatures for most of the week here. thanks for your kind words, keep safe and well.
Hello Jane, ha ha, i really do enjoy a challenge and this did not put me to the test enough. Our older ancestors where highly skilled to cope in so many more bad situations. Now days we rely way too much on modern technology and when this breaks which it often does people struggle to function and cant adopt back to the simple old ways. For a pathetic example, i had to give my Solar power electric export meter reading last week to the electric company to receive a payment, their computer system was down at their end for over a week ! none of them could put a bloody pen to paper to calculate and process the payment. A proper "computer says no " situation , hate the modern world, but love modern solar free energy ! ha ha ! thanks very much and take good care.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Totally agree. Desperate to get out in the garden again, heaved a frozen bag of potting soil onto the wheelbarrow and dragged it to the house. Hubby wouldn't let me wheel it into the living room to defrost. What a stinker!
Looks pretty but I’ll be glad to see the back of it. I was cut off on Monday and had to cancel all my work as I didn’t dare drive my car up and down to hills to get to a road. Thankfully a tractor went up the farm track and I got my car out on Tuesday. My preparation for the bad weather was a few essential items from the local shop and some beer 🍺 😊. Bet it was lovely in the forest without anyone else around 😊👍😊. Take care of yourselves and I’d watch your wife with those bricks 😱😱😱😱
Ha ha Dan, yes the beer is a perfect prep item ! blurs the mess out ! i could defiantly be a functioning alcoholic if it did not ruin health. It was lovely in the forest and you could clearly see all the wild animal tracks, even rabbit prints in our front garden which i never knew so many visited of a night time. Hopefully the snow will melt next week and you can get out and about properly again. Thanks Dan, keep safe and well, take care
Enjoyed seeing your snow days. Drifting snow sometimes can drift very deep. There were times at my house my main door, the storm door opens outwards, and a 3 foot tall wind drifted bank was hard to push the door open to shovel out. Depends on the direction of the winds where it drifts. Always an adventure. You've got sledding hills so fun to be had there.
Hello Karen, Hope you keeping well. The sledging hills are from very old quarries (from early 1800s) they were what is called "crag pits", many thick layers of sea shells dug out for a substitute for lime used in farming and lime mortar making. The pits are gentle sloping , not too deep and very safe to play in. Snow is pretty to look at and fun, but i have been watching what is going on in America ! very bad weather, not good at all ! keep safe and well Karen, take good care, Keep warm !
Hello, too cold for me ! i like the summer, i just want to get out in the garden and grow my food ! keep safe and well, happy cooking and growing, keep safe and well.
Hello Trev, the weather has been awful ! way too cold, ive just checked the weather and we could get up to 14oC towards the end of the weekend. Our old cottage struggled a little when it got down to -7 last week. Old buildings are so inefficient and there is not much more i can do to help retain the heat in its solid single rubble walls, if i try to clad them it will cause damp. Roll on summer ! thanks Trev, hope your keeping both fit and well, take good care.
We have been a little on the cool side here for the last week and it is expected to continue into next week as well. We have black ice on our roads, a smattering of snow on our pasture and a balmy 13 F (-10 C) here today, plus wind. Next Sunday is forecast high of 1 F (-17 C). These are the days you are happy to have a reliable heater and good planning to keep the animals safely watered and fed.
Hello, Your weather is far more extreme, in the UK we always come to a standstill with a few inches of snow ! ha ha we are not good for this. Wow -17 that's not good, the coldest we have had in this snow is -7c. The animals are doing fine here, but they do look a little bit bored of this weather now. The geese were very confused with the snow ! we have been giving all the poultry buckets of warm water and plenty of maize grits mixed into their feed to keep them warm. I hope your keeping well and your animals are in this cold weather. I have heard America is set to break cold weather records yet again ! the climate is definitely changing ! its easy for the people who work the land to see. Keep warm and safe, hopefully a great year for homesteaders waits ahead. God bless, keep safe and well and thank for your comment, always a pleasure to read. Take good care.
Hay Gary. Bet the kids loved playing in it. We all love a bit of snow don't we. The good thing is that you can relax and enjoy it and not worry about getting to work seeing as your work is just outside your door. Great stuff - what a lovely life you have there buddy. Anyway, sod all snow here in Cardiff but it's flipping bitter. Take care to you all.
Hello Dave, its good to hear from you, hope all is well, yes im fed up with this bitter cold weather as well ! it was fun for 2 days ! i will agree it is a lovely life, but 12 hour shifts sometimes in that factory and working weekend for many many years before i could escape and make it work ! those days were bloody grim, so tired most of the time that i never knew if i was coming or going ! im now determined to have fun before i kick the bucket ! ha ha ! Any way Dave, the warmer weather is coming to the west Monday onwards for you. we have to wait longer here. Good luck ! keep warm and safe, take care, thanks very much for your kind words.
We’ve had around 3” in Norfolk, but the main roads are clear now (near the A11)... Quite jealous of your space! We have around 1/3rd of an acre, wrapped around us, and one side of the garden has a low wall so it’s like an allotment area. We’ve planted some fruit trees too, but I would love to move to somewhere with around an acre.... even looking at a France!
Hello, Norfolk is a lovely part of the country, we wanted to move further up to there but we did not want to be too far from our parents, many fond childhood memories of fun spent at my nans cottage in a tiny village called Roughton, close to Cromer and Sheringham. You can still do a lot with 1/3 of an acre, plenty for growing veg and a few chickens, we use to have just 1/10th of an acre before we moved here. we had chickens, plenty of veg and fruit trees and 1 beehive, just all crammed in ! my next door neighbour had 1/3 of an acre, i used to look over the fence with envy ! ha ha. I do miss the challenges of planning on smaller land, it was great fun and i also miss the bartering of produce with them. thanks for your comment, keep safe and well, good luck, happy growing.
Been binge watching all your vids and its my new favourite channel! Was wondering if you were gonna do a video of how you're getting on during this weather, so look forward to watching when I get home from work 👍🏼😁
Hello, thanks so much for watching this channel, the revenue that the channel generates is now around £80 per month which is really helping us out to set up more, so thanks so much for helping. When your self sufficient and running a smallholding the smallest amount of money can go a long way. Im not money obsessed but sadly looking after the planet comes at a high cost ! and our goal is to live in a sustainable way. Thanks, keep safe and well, take good care.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD thanks for your reply. I want to have a smallholding myself one day and looking to do it in the next few years with my wife 🤞 so keep the vids coming they are great for info and you also crack me up with your jokes😁👍🏼
Just a sprinkling here. Lost the back end of the van going past the Old Mill, but got it back and just brushed the hedge without wiping out. The apple trees need a cold spell; they don't lose their leaves or fruit in warmer climates. 🍏
Hello, its lovely to hear from you, hope all is well at your end. glad you and the car are in one piece ! Hopefully the cold snap will kill a lot of the fruit eating bug off. Hope you have a good crop this year. Hopefully no late frosts to ruin fruit setting. thanks for the comment, safe driving and keep well.
Hello Gail, the oil lamps are a great backup, im trying to turn our old cottage into a walk back in time, im collecting useful antiques and as your know the old things are built to last, unlike all the stuff today. Thanks and take good care
The temperature this morning was -12 feeling more like -17, the snow is still here, you have had more snow than us, are the birds allowed outside now? The roads up here are awful to drive on, the main roads are being treated but the side roads not so much. Good to see you all enjoying the snow, sledging etc. I would much rather drive in snow, at least I can see it unlike black ice. Take care all, hopefully the solar flares will only give us Auroras. Thanks for the updates.
Hello Lindsay, its good to hear from you, glad your doing well. The birds are still in lockdown, but we have had to let the geese and ducks out for health reasons, they are not designed to live in huts without access to deeper water than that of just a small bucket. Defra has it wrong ! but the chickens cope a lot better in huts than water foul. I have heard that Scotland had -23c in parts ! crazy cold like an ice age ! as you probably know a solar flare grid outage is super rare ! im not paranoid ! ha ha but it will happen again be it in our lifetime or a few generations on. The last was back in the 1859, luckily they did not have or even rely on technology back then so it had very little effect. just beautiful sky's to look at. Nature is so amazing which stretches beyond our planet ! keep safe and well and not too long now for lockdown to be over. Happy travels for when that happens, thanks and take good care.
Yeah I reckon power cuts will be a thing this year, so you’ll soon be put to the test I think. We’ve had snow all week here, we’re next to a main road and that’s still open but as we live down a farm track we often get cut off as we can’t get out onto the road. Fortunately it’s not been too deep but it’s extremely icy as it keeps thawing then freezing! Was planning to get some seeds sown this week but the compost is frozen. It’ll soon be spring though, eh? Take care.
Hello Brighid, its lovely to hear from you, hope your keeping well. The weather has been really awful all over the country, luckily our snow has all gone as from today and we are all having warmer weather. i hope its not going to be a late growing season for the UK. Im sure they are getting later and shorter ! not good and others are saying the same. keep safe in the crazy weather, i cant wait for the spring, thanks and take good care ( sorry for a little late to reply im busy decorating the staircase as it was too cold for the garden)
Omg that looks so cold I am glad I had my cuppa. I felt chilly just watching lol. Been so long since I have seen snow. I do hope your bees will be fine. Much blessings :)
Okay dont rub it in with your lovely warm climate ! ha ha, its lovely to hear from you, i hope your keeping safe and well, i would say keep warm !! but that does not work for you ! so i will say happy growing instead. Take good care and thanks for leaving a comment. Blessings returned in your direction.
Hello, ha ha i cant even be bothered to even try and go out in this weather, im happy just staying home and also there are too many twats on the road driving like crazy !!! thanks and take care Amber.
Hello Moose, youve been around a bit ! yes we are crap at doing snow, ha ha the country comes to a stand still at a few inches ! thanks and take good care
Hello Jim. I am a little bit of a prepper but not a complete crazy one that makes the family do drills, ha ha , thanks for popping by, keep safe and well and keep warm !!
Theres nothing to be excited about. No apocalypse is coming. In Poland now there's over half a meter of snow and -15 deg. No one's panicking, even in rural communities.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD I do live in UK and have been for quite a while (Cardiff/Newport area). I remember a harsh winter in Wales. Jan 2018, if I'm not mistaken.. the day that Wales stopped. Armageddon. 10-12 cm of snow, -3 to -5 deg. for couple days, lots of winds.. If I remember correctly, it was called "the worst winter in 60 years"!! I had a lot of laughs about it. Being smart, I had decent winter tyres on my car, so no problems at all. Still, I couldn't belive how unprepared Welsh are. It's just a bit of snow :), you get to be worried, when it's knee deep, gas and/or electricity is cut off.. Otherwise.. go outside, make a snowman, enjoy the life:)
I haven’t watched the TV in a decade. It’s nothing but a fear mongering machine and the weather is no exception. They talk about snow and winds as if they are Antarctic storms and even a small amount of rain comes with a weather warning. Utterly ridiculous. The British public is now frightened of its own shadow. I used to drive an old fashioned mini over the top of the Cotswolds in two foot of snow. It was great fun. Getting electricity cut off is a bit pants. We had a good dose of snow last week but not a problem for a day or two.
Hello, yes i agree with the mainstream TV, always out to keep you worried ! wow i bet the mini in the snow was fun ! I think that everyone should drive a classic mini before they die ! i used to have a 1993 BRG mini cooper, it was in mint condition by the time i finished with it, it was my baby ! ha ha , i changed nearly every nut and bolt for stainless steel, also all the trim and exhaust to stainless, a bare metal respray and plenty of tar and wax oil to keep that dreaded rust away ! as you know they rusted fast ! They are great fun cars. Thanks for your comment, i always enjoy reading others stories. keep safe and well, take care
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD I learnt to drive in an old woody, Morris minor traveller that you had to double de clutch as we called it. Synchronised gearboxes, ha, ha. My hubby said he’d take me out to practice and would then fall asleep. I only had 8 real lessons and passed first time in a modern car. The mini was luxury. It had a huge gearstick and one of those tiny racing steering wheels. I used to open it with some old key I found if I bothered locking it. What a laugh. My hubby did put on a new subframe when the old one rusted. Us oldies are definitely tougher.
Hello David, ive check facebook and can not find it ???? i would love to see. Vicky ventured out the other day and said that down the road there was 4 foot drifts on the road closing it. still minus temperature here and the snow has not melted. Thanks Dave hope all is well, lockdown will soon be over and you will be able to travel again. Take good care, keep safe and well.
Hello Niki, the oil lamps came from ebay. There is lots listed on there. We paid £30 each for them. I like second hand stuff. funny enough i also am cutting down on my carbs. im missing lots of roast potatoes on my plate though along with bread ! thanks for popping by, keep safe and well.
Hello, yes Paddy they are certainly getting closer together, ive noticed the same as well, sorry for a late reply, we have been busy decorating the staircase in the cottage, thanks, keep safe and well.
Hi Gary! Great to see you coping so well with mother natures wrath! I hope the bees are okay and enjoy the practice for the end of the world! Take care, hope to see you soon
Hello, Jordan and Becky, ha ha yep the end is nigh ! ha ha, i do enjoy a challenge though. The sun flare thing will probably be in others life time and not ours, they are quite rare events. As for a pandemic i never expected that ! ive now been reading about too much fresh water melting from the poles and ending the north Atlantic drift making the UK very cold, sod that i hate the cold ! ha ha. As a country we are so lucky, no volcanoes, earth quakes, tsunamis or tornadoes ! we have it too good here ! im never going to get to use my prepper skills. Play that little tiny violin for me ! thanks Jordan and Becky, keep safe and well, take care
We didn't have a fridge when I was a kid, and used boxes of water in the garden....growing up in the 1970's meant we had dozens of powercuts, so there was always candles at the ready... How do you get on with the fish tank if you have a long powercut? The forest looks magical, nice to see you all playing, all good fun...
Hello Bry, hope your still improving, I must admit as a country we do rely on fridges too much ! i should imaging our larder use to have a large slab of granite to keep things cool with fine mesh to keep the bugs out ! its quite amazing you manage to not rely on them even in the 70s. I love reading these old stories of how things were in the past. Our fish tank is heated, we have mainly guppies which are very robust fish that can handle cooler waters/changes, but any other tropical fish would probably struggle. Keep improving and get there ready for the spring, i hope your coping well. we are always on the other side of a phone. Thanks Bry keep safe and well.
We are in a Low Sunspot period which are famous for Pandemics and extreme local weather of any sort as the Magnetism system is messing with the Gulf stream and the Poles and we have huge anomalies building in the Indian ocean. It is normal during these periods for the Summer season to be short and stuff to mutate like cells . Ruined crops due to late cold spells reached down into Spain a few years ago and ruined loads of soft fruit buds, harvest can be stuck in the field rotting, as the grounds too wet to harvest. Wet can be a problem as the ground also can't be planted. Food shortages are common due to this problem stretching right back through history but we can't talk about it as the Global warming scam people don't like it. Nasa said we will be in it for the foreseeable future and at least until 2030 but was told to shut up. I think it was 2016 when Nasa said the warm period we have been in since the 1700's ended , so we are in a cold period now I presume, if cold periods follow warm periods like they have since time began. In prolonged periods child saints appear and promise a new life if you accept their new ways. The cold causes food shortages eventually and price rises, and riots can arrive on the streets. And it's not unusual for regime change to happen either. Plagues are common also, Locusts plague as cold damp weather driven down from the North by that messed up stream, makes their beds wet, so they feel threatened. Mice and Rats plague during these times as they sense the change in the Sun. We have been able to see the damage from Space building up during the last few years from Mice and Locusts. It was around the 1st Of January 2021 when we entered the de vries low period. It's named after a butterfly shape on the Sun and is a consequence of the smallde vries low period and that lasted until 1940 with the lowest spots in 1910. shields shrink and highly charged particles can build one hell of a downpour right over your house, and deposit four foot of hail on your neighbours and even the odd flare can arrive. One things for sure we are happiest in the mid range of Sunspot numbers, at either ends are the extremities where power lines fail and death numbers build, and it's all as normal as Apple pie and custard. Storms have been given names so people feel connected to it and get more frightened as they overblow all the weather as they would like it if we thought we had more storms than normal so they could blame it on us and tax us.. Lots of housing in the UK have only one energy source and it's Electricity. A lot of housing in the past twenty years has been insulated against any ingress of heat from the Sun and even the windows block rays, and if the power goes out they turn into a death trap as Insulation doesn't warm your house up. Now in a lot of housing if you want any heat the power must be on. Years ago even on Christmas day the sky can be blue and this would put a few degrees in your house to save you from dying whilst your carving the frozen fish finger. A chimney has always been missed, and even the mains gas lights I had, installed in 1873, which gave out loads of heat as well. One look from the gas man and they where disconnected. In the USA down in the cellar they will have a huge generator that easily powers the whole house. It might even be a necessity or law in some areas. Our housing is so small no provision like that can happen. If we read our local Carbon/CO2/Plant food plan/ scam, Co2 creation is about to be taxed into oblivion. My local one says most vehicles are expected to be priced off the roads and bosses will have to provide sleep pods at work to cut your co2 costs from getting to work. I say this is why Lockdowns are being extended because if all the companies we used to have in 2019 where asked about sleep pods and all the other Inclusives and sustainability clauses they have have planned, the noise would have been enough for them to maybe cancel their plans. This way the few ones remaining will be grateful to have survived and will accept anything. I could also say Lockdowns are causing many to close for good and there will be a big hole on the streets. The ones that are left will have many hoops to jump through as this is a new normal where Co2 runs away with the climate for once in its life, and a Gender explosion has taken place and old socks can stop a deadly pathogen. Political Science has been installed if anyone hasn't noticed. We should be more than alarmed, factual science has been thrown in the bin. Wood burner's and burning in general will be seriously frowned upon. Driver numbers are expected to be so low the main dual carriageway across the county is to be shrunk to single sided and the other side rewilded with Beavers. Seeing as the route is carved through hills and over moors perhaps some Bears and Wooly Mammoth would be nice and maybe some Bison and that 6kg flying Rat that used to fly around. Why's it always the Beaver, the look on my dogs face says they stink. News out today Bill Gates has got some ideas about the climate so he's wrote a book on it and he wants us to read it, now that he's got his vaccine money stream sorted he's on with the next stream.The Globalists are in top gear and even Prince Charles is on board. Bills that bothered about the climate he's bought a house on the Beach. He's expecting normality like Apple pie and Custard not waves crashing in through the lounge window.
wow you wrote a book there and i read the lot ! yes i agree with a lot you say, as for the stinky beavers, i remember them in my younger night clubbing days ! Happy cloud fishing, what a bloody whopper ! thanks for your comment and thoughts, nice one spex, keep safe and well, take care
hello Blah ha ha, i totally agree with you ! its funny you should say that because there was one bit that i said but it never made the final edit, it went a little like this " I know other countries will think we are girls blouses, but we are not use to snow here and we dont own gas guzzling 4x4 trucks" . About 90% here own 2 wheel drive small saloon cars. I own one and never even bothered to try and go out as it would get stuck straight away, we never bother with snow chains as this snow is rare. Also us UK people use a tiny amount of snow to have an excuse for a day off work, but i dont blame them as we have the least amount of time off work in holidays than most other counties. Thanks so much for a very valid point. nice one ! Keep safe and well, take good care
Hi from the US. What do you mean by power cuts? We live in a rural area and usually it’s from ice more than snow we can lose power meaning something damaged the lines like a tree fell on the power lines. You make it sound like your power is purposely cut off😧
Hello Peggy, good question, where we live none of our power (electricity) lines run underground, not even the low power ones and run about 4 miles through a forest. These lines are on wooden poles. Also a lack of maintenance on behalf of the electricity company is also a big factor. These bring power cuts to us in weather that is not even that bad. Its very common to loose power in any type of storm here. On top of that the water company is also not maintaining their pump house and we are on occasions going without water ! but thats another story ! cant wait to draw our own water from our well , eventually we will supply our own electric (need to invest in a battery bank for that) and our own water. Thanks so much for your question, thanks for popping by, keep safe and well, take care
Being isolated from the world and all JBP sounds like heaven to me Gary. Here in Chelmsford (not a million miles away from you), we also had a covering of snow, I woke up to four and a half inches but that decreased once I got out of bed. I do remember the winter of 1963 and that was what you called a substantial amount of snow. The schools kept going as did everything else, but of course these days the snowflake generation just hide away, gets my goat that 🐐 Cheers and take care, stay virus free. 👍👍👍👍👍
Blah ha ha, best comment ! i had to pin it to the top ! thanks Mike, you always make me laugh. Yes its becoming a country full of softies, to precious to do anything that involves extra effort ! it drives me mad as well. If it cant be dont with the press of a button they struggle ! it gets my goose up ! thanks Mike, keep safe and well, take good care
Hope everyone is safe. Thanks for popping by. We have had even more snow and also snowing as i write this ! we have just over a foot of snow and 2 foot drifts in places. We are now on the powdered milk which is very nice. keep safe in the snow and ice, dont bother going out !! take care and thankyou for all your support and kind words.
I really enjoy this channel ! My neighbor is from the same area in England as you.He called me and asked me to come over to look at his free chickens,so I brought a box to get them.He told me that he did not say he had free chickens.He said he had free chickens...you know," One,two free."😀 We are having severe frigid and snowy weather here in USA, state of Missouri.He called first thing for us to come take him out in the four wheel drive. He is in his 80's and going four wheeling! He loves gardening and talks a lot about peas. Stay warm and safe!
Hello Molly, Blah ha ha, yes us English people are a weird bunch ! ha ha. i could do with an elderly neighbour as well, they have the best gardening knowledge. Thanks so for your comment, i do enjoy a good laugh, keep safe and well, take good care.
So comfy. Love the snow, would be amazing where you are - battening down the hatches and hunkering down to ride out the storm. Everything looks amazing.
Hello Stephen, it is nice being away from the busy towns, im enjoying the peace and quite these days as im getting older, we used to live in a busy town, but it started to drive me mad ! winters are a lot bleaker in the country ! roll on bloody spring ! thanks for your kind comment, keep safe and well, take care
-36 here tonight, we got the polar vortex happening, so thankful for your video. Always good for a laugh and connection with like minded people
Hello, no way ! thats cold ! its like an ice age ! our worst here with this snow is just -7c, i know that up in Scotland was -23 the other day ! where about are you, you may have told me before but i have so many comments now from people all over, the old brain struggles to keep up ! thanks Roger keep safe, well and warm.

I’m in central Manitoba, the entire west of Canada has been engulfed in a polar vortex. Weird anomaly. Today was -33 in the am. Suppose to warm up to -15 tomorrow. I’m looking forward to that.
-2 forecast for next weekend thankfully. Two weeks of -30 to -49 is enough for this Canuck
@@rogerpilon2588 wow ! thanks for this info Roger, your home must have a lot of insulation to cope with these temperatures, I've insulated our home as best as can be done but its a solid single rubble wall construction over 220 years old, it would never cope in them temperatures you are receiving, thanks Roger keep safe, warm and well.
You guys are well prepped, nice one, love the lanterns absolute magic. I lived in Finland for three years Gaz, with an Australian wife lol, funniest thing watching an Aussie walk in 2 meters of snow to the shops, lol, cracked me up. My minivan would be buried most nights and I would have to dig it out every morning. We had winter tyres so it was no problem. My Uncle has a road clearing business so he would come and do my lane, one of the lucky ones lol. Stay safe people.
Hello, you sure have had an interesting life going here there and everywhere, i really admire that ! 2 meters of snow in the UK would lead to the economy collapsing ! ha ha, we are shit at cold snowy weather in the UK. thanks Moose, keep safe and well and thanks for all your great comments !
HI Gary,
Glad to see that you are prepared for the worst. It is always good to do that. I see Geoff has similar weather to you, Up here near Kings Lynn, We've been very lucky, minimal snow and winds.
Stay safe and Keep life simple
Hello Steve, its good to hear from you, glad you have missed the worst of the snow, the warmer weather is coming next week ! yippeeee ! i hate cold weather, its no fun being in the garden when its cold, yes i watched Geoff just the other day with his snow, he is not too far from us here, i would love to visit his land one day, its amazing what he has and he has some fantastic plans with it. Thanks, keep safe, well and warm.
Looks beautiful ☃️❄️❄️❄️
Hello, looks beautiful but feels horrible ! the snow has still not melted here, im bored of it now ! thanks for popping by, keep safe and well, take care
Hi Gary. Thanks for your latest vid. You had a bit more snow than we have had up to now. We are in very different environments, you are in a low land forrest situation, whilst we are in a pennine moorland environment. We consider that we came off quite lightly this time, no power outages and we were not actually snowed in for long. Great to see some of your preparations for the adverse weather. I have a lamp similar to yours, mine is a bit older, it cam from my grandparents house. It looks as though the snow wasn't as bad as was forecast for either of us but living where we do, we have to be prepared. Great to see you all enjoyed the sledging! All else is ok here. Keep warm, stay healthy and take care. I hope you managed to stay away from Vicky and her bricks! Johnny. North West England.
Hello Johnny, i always enjoy reading your comments, The weather has been lovely today, 14c and sunny. I have been in the garden most of the day planting onion sets, about 200 of them, could even be more . Its lovely your lamp has been passed down, a very special item. I have been looking at cranberry coloured glass ones, they seem to be the most sort after lamps on ebay, what colour is your one ? The cost of running an oil lamp is now so expensive compared to an efficient electric bulb ! but i do love them. Last night i watch wartime Britain on 5 on demand, ( mainly about make do and mend, food and veg growing) with my oil lamp on, a small glass of gin, wood burner running, a perfect step back in time ! bollocks still intact ! Thanks Johnny take good care
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Thanks Gary, what a nice thing too say. Yes our daytime temperatures have shot up- not quite as high as yours, lol! You have been busy in the garden. Yes our lamp must be one of the few around where we live and not that long ago there would have been many. There are many on essay, so the cranberry glass are the most desirable then, this one has a clear chimney and a white glass globe, my late Dad could remember it and others being in regular use at home. Yes there is something about the light from oil lamps- and candles. You certainly gave yourself an atmosphere to watch that war time program in. The gin would be enough, lol! I'm glad you are fully complete Gary! Take care. Johnny. North West England.
Hi Gary, keep the vids coming, you always make us laugh, it looks cold where you are but not as cold as Ireland! I had to snap the dog off a lamppost yesterday brrrrrr
Blah ha ha, thanks for you comment and the laugh, we have no intention of stop making videos yet, but one day that time will come , thanks, keep safe and well, take care
We've been lucky here. Escaped the rat race three years ago and now living in North Devon. Haven't had any snow or even that much rain and this morning the sun is shining. Seems surreal seeing most of the country under snow and if the milkman had turned up your milk would've probably been frozen anyway by the looks of it. Great vid as usual. Stay warm and safe.
Hello, North Devon is such a lovely place ! i have had a few holidays there in the past. today we had milk delivered for the first time since the snow. we got it in before it froze. minus temperatures for most of the week here. thanks for your kind words, keep safe and well.
Its the viking in you, rest of us moaning and groaning and you're all bring it on mate!!!! Love it! xx
Hello Jane, ha ha, i really do enjoy a challenge and this did not put me to the test enough. Our older ancestors where highly skilled to cope in so many more bad situations. Now days we rely way too much on modern technology and when this breaks which it often does people struggle to function and cant adopt back to the simple old ways. For a pathetic example, i had to give my Solar power electric export meter reading last week to the electric company to receive a payment, their computer system was down at their end for over a week ! none of them could put a bloody pen to paper to calculate and process the payment. A proper "computer says no " situation , hate the modern world, but love modern solar free energy ! ha ha ! thanks very much and take good care.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Totally agree. Desperate to get out in the garden again, heaved a frozen bag of potting soil onto the wheelbarrow and dragged it to the house. Hubby wouldn't let me wheel it into the living room to defrost. What a stinker!
@@janebotten2969 ha ha we have been potting up on the dining table ! ive only planted peppers so far. happy growing and take care
Looks pretty but I’ll be glad to see the back of it. I was cut off on Monday and had to cancel all my work as I didn’t dare drive my car up and down to hills to get to a road. Thankfully a tractor went up the farm track and I got my car out on Tuesday. My preparation for the bad weather was a few essential items from the local shop and some beer 🍺 😊. Bet it was lovely in the forest without anyone else around 😊👍😊. Take care of yourselves and I’d watch your wife with those bricks 😱😱😱😱
Ha ha Dan, yes the beer is a perfect prep item ! blurs the mess out ! i could defiantly be a functioning alcoholic if it did not ruin health. It was lovely in the forest and you could clearly see all the wild animal tracks, even rabbit prints in our front garden which i never knew so many visited of a night time. Hopefully the snow will melt next week and you can get out and about properly again. Thanks Dan, keep safe and well, take care
Enjoyed seeing your snow days. Drifting snow sometimes can drift very deep. There were times at my house my main door, the storm door opens outwards, and a 3 foot tall wind drifted bank was hard to push the door open to shovel out. Depends on the direction of the winds where it drifts. Always an adventure. You've got sledding hills so fun to be had there.
Hello Karen, Hope you keeping well. The sledging hills are from very old quarries (from early 1800s) they were what is called "crag pits", many thick layers of sea shells dug out for a substitute for lime used in farming and lime mortar making. The pits are gentle sloping , not too deep and very safe to play in. Snow is pretty to look at and fun, but i have been watching what is going on in America ! very bad weather, not good at all ! keep safe and well Karen, take good care, Keep warm !
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Sea shells! That is very interesting.
Wow looks so nice👌👍
Hello, too cold for me ! i like the summer, i just want to get out in the garden and grow my food ! keep safe and well, happy cooking and growing, keep safe and well.
Nice Video dear👍👌
Thanks so much for your kind words, keep safe and well.
You survived another storm, no two are the same are they? Glad you got through it. Very cold week. Stay safe 😃 Trev
Hello Trev, the weather has been awful ! way too cold, ive just checked the weather and we could get up to 14oC towards the end of the weekend. Our old cottage struggled a little when it got down to -7 last week. Old buildings are so inefficient and there is not much more i can do to help retain the heat in its solid single rubble walls, if i try to clad them it will cause damp. Roll on summer ! thanks Trev, hope your keeping both fit and well, take good care.
We have been a little on the cool side here for the last week and it is expected to continue into next week as well. We have black ice on our roads, a smattering of snow on our pasture and a balmy 13 F (-10 C) here today, plus wind. Next Sunday is forecast high of 1 F (-17 C). These are the days you are happy to have a reliable heater and good planning to keep the animals safely watered and fed.
Hello, Your weather is far more extreme, in the UK we always come to a standstill with a few inches of snow ! ha ha we are not good for this. Wow -17 that's not good, the coldest we have had in this snow is -7c. The animals are doing fine here, but they do look a little bit bored of this weather now. The geese were very confused with the snow ! we have been giving all the poultry buckets of warm water and plenty of maize grits mixed into their feed to keep them warm. I hope your keeping well and your animals are in this cold weather. I have heard America is set to break cold weather records yet again ! the climate is definitely changing ! its easy for the people who work the land to see. Keep warm and safe, hopefully a great year for homesteaders waits ahead. God bless, keep safe and well and thank for your comment, always a pleasure to read. Take good care.
Hay Gary. Bet the kids loved playing in it. We all love a bit of snow don't we. The good thing is that you can relax and enjoy it and not worry about getting to work seeing as your work is just outside your door. Great stuff - what a lovely life you have there buddy. Anyway, sod all snow here in Cardiff but it's flipping bitter. Take care to you all.
Hello Dave, its good to hear from you, hope all is well, yes im fed up with this bitter cold weather as well ! it was fun for 2 days ! i will agree it is a lovely life, but 12 hour shifts sometimes in that factory and working weekend for many many years before i could escape and make it work ! those days were bloody grim, so tired most of the time that i never knew if i was coming or going ! im now determined to have fun before i kick the bucket ! ha ha ! Any way Dave, the warmer weather is coming to the west Monday onwards for you. we have to wait longer here. Good luck ! keep warm and safe, take care, thanks very much for your kind words.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD i understand how much you have worked to get to where you are. You fully deserve it buddy.
We’ve had around 3” in Norfolk, but the main roads are clear now (near the A11)... Quite jealous of your space! We have around 1/3rd of an acre, wrapped around us, and one side of the garden has a low wall so it’s like an allotment area. We’ve planted some fruit trees too, but I would love to move to somewhere with around an acre.... even looking at a France!
Hello, Norfolk is a lovely part of the country, we wanted to move further up to there but we did not want to be too far from our parents, many fond childhood memories of fun spent at my nans cottage in a tiny village called Roughton, close to Cromer and Sheringham. You can still do a lot with 1/3 of an acre, plenty for growing veg and a few chickens, we use to have just 1/10th of an acre before we moved here. we had chickens, plenty of veg and fruit trees and 1 beehive, just all crammed in ! my next door neighbour had 1/3 of an acre, i used to look over the fence with envy ! ha ha. I do miss the challenges of planning on smaller land, it was great fun and i also miss the bartering of produce with them. thanks for your comment, keep safe and well, good luck, happy growing.
Been binge watching all your vids and its my new favourite channel! Was wondering if you were gonna do a video of how you're getting on during this weather, so look forward to watching when I get home from work 👍🏼😁
Hello, thanks so much for watching this channel, the revenue that the channel generates is now around £80 per month which is really helping us out to set up more, so thanks so much for helping. When your self sufficient and running a smallholding the smallest amount of money can go a long way. Im not money obsessed but sadly looking after the planet comes at a high cost ! and our goal is to live in a sustainable way. Thanks, keep safe and well, take good care.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD thanks for your reply. I want to have a smallholding myself one day and looking to do it in the next few years with my wife 🤞 so keep the vids coming they are great for info and you also crack me up with your jokes😁👍🏼
Just a sprinkling here. Lost the back end of the van going past the Old Mill, but got it back and just brushed the hedge without wiping out. The apple trees need a cold spell; they don't lose their leaves or fruit in warmer climates. 🍏
Hello, its lovely to hear from you, hope all is well at your end. glad you and the car are in one piece ! Hopefully the cold snap will kill a lot of the fruit eating bug off. Hope you have a good crop this year. Hopefully no late frosts to ruin fruit setting. thanks for the comment, safe driving and keep well.
Watching here in mieken japan god bless
Hello, wow ! i think this is the first ever comment from Japan on this channel , thanks so much, take good care.
Loving the videos, we have the same oil lamp :))
Hello Gail, the oil lamps are a great backup, im trying to turn our old cottage into a walk back in time, im collecting useful antiques and as your know the old things are built to last, unlike all the stuff today. Thanks and take good care
The temperature this morning was -12 feeling more like -17, the snow is still here, you have had more snow than us, are the birds allowed outside now? The roads up here are awful to drive on, the main roads are being treated but the side roads not so much. Good to see you all enjoying the snow, sledging etc. I would much rather drive in snow, at least I can see it unlike black ice. Take care all, hopefully the solar flares will only give us Auroras. Thanks for the updates.
Hello Lindsay, its good to hear from you, glad your doing well. The birds are still in lockdown, but we have had to let the geese and ducks out for health reasons, they are not designed to live in huts without access to deeper water than that of just a small bucket. Defra has it wrong ! but the chickens cope a lot better in huts than water foul. I have heard that Scotland had -23c in parts ! crazy cold like an ice age ! as you probably know a solar flare grid outage is super rare ! im not paranoid ! ha ha but it will happen again be it in our lifetime or a few generations on. The last was back in the 1859, luckily they did not have or even rely on technology back then so it had very little effect. just beautiful sky's to look at. Nature is so amazing which stretches beyond our planet ! keep safe and well and not too long now for lockdown to be over. Happy travels for when that happens, thanks and take good care.
Yeah I reckon power cuts will be a thing this year, so you’ll soon be put to the test I think. We’ve had snow all week here, we’re next to a main road and that’s still open but as we live down a farm track we often get cut off as we can’t get out onto the road. Fortunately it’s not been too deep but it’s extremely icy as it keeps thawing then freezing! Was planning to get some seeds sown this week but the compost is frozen. It’ll soon be spring though, eh? Take care.
Hello Brighid, its lovely to hear from you, hope your keeping well. The weather has been really awful all over the country, luckily our snow has all gone as from today and we are all having warmer weather. i hope its not going to be a late growing season for the UK. Im sure they are getting later and shorter ! not good and others are saying the same. keep safe in the crazy weather, i cant wait for the spring, thanks and take good care ( sorry for a little late to reply im busy decorating the staircase as it was too cold for the garden)
Brilliant as always Gary. Hope you and your family are doing great.
Hello Carol, we are all fine here thanks. hope all is good at your end. thanks and take good care.
Omg that looks so cold I am glad I had my cuppa. I felt chilly just watching lol. Been so long since I have seen snow. I do hope your bees will be fine. Much blessings :)
Okay dont rub it in with your lovely warm climate ! ha ha, its lovely to hear from you, i hope your keeping safe and well, i would say keep warm !! but that does not work for you ! so i will say happy growing instead. Take good care and thanks for leaving a comment. Blessings returned in your direction.
Very nice

Welcome to Finland!! Get a pair of winter tryes and show everyone else how to roll!
I lived in Finland for three years, I remember digging my car out every day lol, it was a minivan, UK has no idea what snow is.

Theres nothing to be excited about. No apocalypse is coming. In Poland now there's over half a meter of snow and -15 deg. No one's panicking, even in rural communities.

@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD
I do live in UK and have been for quite a while (Cardiff/Newport area). I remember a harsh winter in Wales.
Jan 2018, if I'm not mistaken.. the day that Wales stopped. Armageddon. 10-12 cm of snow, -3 to -5 deg. for couple days, lots of winds.. If I remember correctly, it was called "the worst winter in 60 years"!!
I had a lot of laughs about it. Being smart, I had decent winter tyres on my car, so no problems at all. Still, I couldn't belive how unprepared Welsh are. It's just a bit of snow :), you get to be worried, when it's knee deep, gas and/or electricity is cut off.. Otherwise.. go outside, make a snowman, enjoy the life:)
I haven’t watched the TV in a decade. It’s nothing but a fear mongering machine and the weather is no exception. They talk about snow and winds as if they are Antarctic storms and even a small amount of rain comes with a weather warning. Utterly ridiculous.
The British public is now frightened of its own shadow.
I used to drive an old fashioned mini over the top of the Cotswolds in two foot of snow. It was great fun. Getting electricity cut off is a bit pants. We had a good dose of snow last week but not a problem for a day or two.
Hello, yes i agree with the mainstream TV, always out to keep you worried ! wow i bet the mini in the snow was fun ! I think that everyone should drive a classic mini before they die ! i used to have a 1993 BRG mini cooper, it was in mint condition by the time i finished with it, it was my baby ! ha ha , i changed nearly every nut and bolt for stainless steel, also all the trim and exhaust to stainless, a bare metal respray and plenty of tar and wax oil to keep that dreaded rust away ! as you know they rusted fast ! They are great fun cars. Thanks for your comment, i always enjoy reading others stories. keep safe and well, take care
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD I learnt to drive in an old woody, Morris minor traveller that you had to double de clutch as we called it. Synchronised gearboxes, ha, ha. My hubby said he’d take me out to practice and would then fall asleep. I only had 8 real lessons and passed first time in a modern car. The mini was luxury. It had a huge gearstick and one of those tiny racing steering wheels. I used to open it with some old key I found if I bothered locking it. What a laugh. My hubby did put on a new subframe when the old one rusted. Us oldies are definitely tougher.
LOL We had 6 inches locally but if you check your Facebook you will see what was just down the road. Keep safe and warm
Hello David, ive check facebook and can not find it ???? i would love to see. Vicky ventured out the other day and said that down the road there was 4 foot drifts on the road closing it. still minus temperature here and the snow has not melted. Thanks Dave hope all is well, lockdown will soon be over and you will be able to travel again. Take good care, keep safe and well.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD It is in a reply to myself on the link to this video on FB
I love those oil lamps 😍. Where did you get them from? I remember we used to have oil lamps as a child.
Hello Niki, the oil lamps came from ebay. There is lots listed on there. We paid £30 each for them. I like second hand stuff. funny enough i also am cutting down on my carbs. im missing lots of roast potatoes on my plate though along with bread ! thanks for popping by, keep safe and well.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD thanks I'll check out Ebay. By the way swede makes a good lower carb alternative to potatoes.
Weather is it full control... I find a late frost in spring nd early frost in autumn can be bad... they seemed too be getting closer together...
Hello, yes Paddy they are certainly getting closer together, ive noticed the same as well, sorry for a late reply, we have been busy decorating the staircase in the cottage, thanks, keep safe and well.
Hi Gary! Great to see you coping so well with mother natures wrath! I hope the bees are okay and enjoy the practice for the end of the world! Take care, hope to see you soon
Hello, Jordan and Becky, ha ha yep the end is nigh ! ha ha, i do enjoy a challenge though. The sun flare thing will probably be in others life time and not ours, they are quite rare events. As for a pandemic i never expected that ! ive now been reading about too much fresh water melting from the poles and ending the north Atlantic drift making the UK very cold, sod that i hate the cold ! ha ha. As a country we are so lucky, no volcanoes, earth quakes, tsunamis or tornadoes ! we have it too good here ! im never going to get to use my prepper skills. Play that little tiny violin for me ! thanks Jordan and Becky, keep safe and well, take care
We didn't have a fridge when I was a kid, and used boxes of water in the garden....growing up in the 1970's meant we had dozens of powercuts, so there was always candles at the ready... How do you get on with the fish tank if you have a long powercut? The forest looks magical, nice to see you all playing, all good fun...
Hello Bry, hope your still improving, I must admit as a country we do rely on fridges too much ! i should imaging our larder use to have a large slab of granite to keep things cool with fine mesh to keep the bugs out ! its quite amazing you manage to not rely on them even in the 70s. I love reading these old stories of how things were in the past. Our fish tank is heated, we have mainly guppies which are very robust fish that can handle cooler waters/changes, but any other tropical fish would probably struggle. Keep improving and get there ready for the spring, i hope your coping well. we are always on the other side of a phone. Thanks Bry keep safe and well.
@@ESCAPINGTHEMATRIXFORGOOD Thankyou, yes, I am doing very well now, cheers
We are in a Low Sunspot period which are famous for Pandemics and extreme local weather of any sort as the Magnetism system is messing with the Gulf stream and the Poles and we have huge anomalies building in the Indian ocean. It is normal during these periods for the Summer season to be short and stuff to mutate like cells .
Ruined crops due to late cold spells reached down into Spain a few years ago and ruined loads of soft fruit buds, harvest can be stuck in the field rotting, as the grounds too wet to harvest. Wet can be a problem as the ground also can't be planted. Food shortages are common due to this problem stretching right back through history but we can't talk about it as the Global warming scam people don't like it.
Nasa said we will be in it for the foreseeable future and at least until 2030 but was told to shut up. I think it was 2016 when Nasa said the warm period we have been in since the 1700's ended , so we are in a cold period now I presume, if cold periods follow warm periods like they have since time began.
In prolonged periods child saints appear and promise a new life if you accept their new ways. The cold causes food shortages eventually and price rises, and riots can arrive on the streets. And it's not unusual for regime change to happen either. Plagues are common also, Locusts plague as cold damp weather driven down from the North by that messed up stream, makes their beds wet, so they feel threatened. Mice and Rats plague during these times as they sense the change in the Sun. We have been able to see the damage from Space building up during the last few years from Mice and Locusts.
It was around the 1st Of January 2021 when we entered the de vries low period. It's named after a butterfly shape on the Sun and is a consequence of the smallde vries low period and that lasted until 1940 with the lowest spots in 1910.
shields shrink and highly charged particles can build one hell of a downpour right over your house, and deposit four foot of hail on your neighbours and even the odd flare can arrive.
One things for sure we are happiest in the mid range of Sunspot numbers, at either ends are the extremities where power lines fail and death numbers build, and it's all as normal as Apple pie and custard.
Storms have been given names so people feel connected to it and get more frightened as they overblow all the weather as they would like it if we thought we had more storms than normal so they could blame it on us and tax us..
Lots of housing in the UK have only one energy source and it's Electricity. A lot of housing in the past twenty years has been insulated against any ingress of heat from the Sun and even the windows block rays, and if the power goes out they turn into a death trap as Insulation doesn't warm your house up. Now in a lot of housing if you want any heat the power must be on. Years ago even on Christmas day the sky can be blue and this would put a few degrees in your house to save you from dying whilst your carving the frozen fish finger. A chimney has always been missed, and even the mains gas lights I had, installed in 1873, which gave out loads of heat as well. One look from the gas man and they where disconnected.
In the USA down in the cellar they will have a huge generator that easily powers the whole house. It might even be a necessity or law in some areas. Our housing is so small no provision like that can happen.
If we read our local Carbon/CO2/Plant food plan/ scam, Co2 creation is about to be taxed into oblivion. My local one says most vehicles are expected to be priced off the roads and bosses will have to provide sleep pods at work to cut your co2 costs from getting to work. I say this is why Lockdowns are being extended because if all the companies we used to have in 2019 where asked about sleep pods and all the other Inclusives and sustainability clauses they have have planned, the noise would have been enough for them to maybe cancel their plans. This way the few ones remaining will be grateful to have survived and will accept anything. I could also say Lockdowns are causing many to close for good and there will be a big hole on the streets. The ones that are left will have many hoops to jump through as this is a new normal where Co2 runs away with the climate for once in its life, and a Gender explosion has taken place and old socks can stop a deadly pathogen. Political Science has been installed if anyone hasn't noticed. We should be more than alarmed, factual science has been thrown in the bin.
Wood burner's and burning in general will be seriously frowned upon. Driver numbers are expected to be so low the main dual carriageway across the county is to be shrunk to single sided and the other side rewilded with Beavers. Seeing as the route is carved through hills and over moors perhaps some Bears and Wooly Mammoth would be nice and maybe some Bison and that 6kg flying Rat that used to fly around. Why's it always the Beaver, the look on my dogs face says they stink.
News out today Bill Gates has got some ideas about the climate so he's wrote a book on it and he wants us to read it, now that he's got his vaccine money stream sorted he's on with the next stream.The Globalists are in top gear and even Prince Charles is on board. Bills that bothered about the climate he's bought a house on the Beach. He's expecting normality like Apple pie and Custard not waves crashing in through the lounge window.
wow you wrote a book there and i read the lot ! yes i agree with a lot you say, as for the stinky beavers, i remember them in my younger night clubbing days ! Happy cloud fishing, what a bloody whopper ! thanks for your comment and thoughts, nice one spex, keep safe and well, take care

Blah ha ha ! your getting me at it !!! still reply !
English people will never know what being truly snowed in means. It's hilarious to see you lot struggle in such small snow🤣🤣
2 inch of snow and we’re buggered in the UK! 😅 where are you from?
hello Blah ha ha, i totally agree with you ! its funny you should say that because there was one bit that i said but it never made the final edit, it went a little like this " I know other countries will think we are girls blouses, but we are not use to snow here and we dont own gas guzzling 4x4 trucks" . About 90% here own 2 wheel drive small saloon cars. I own one and never even bothered to try and go out as it would get stuck straight away, we never bother with snow chains as this snow is rare. Also us UK people use a tiny amount of snow to have an excuse for a day off work, but i dont blame them as we have the least amount of time off work in holidays than most other counties. Thanks so much for a very valid point. nice one ! Keep safe and well, take good care
That Welsh Man - ha ha yep a good excuse to have a day off from the rat race !! , take care, keep safe !
Hi from the US. What do you mean by power cuts? We live in a rural area and usually it’s from ice more than snow we can lose power meaning something damaged the lines like a tree fell on the power lines. You make it sound like your power is purposely cut off😧
Hello Peggy, good question, where we live none of our power (electricity) lines run underground, not even the low power ones and run about 4 miles through a forest. These lines are on wooden poles. Also a lack of maintenance on behalf of the electricity company is also a big factor. These bring power cuts to us in weather that is not even that bad. Its very common to loose power in any type of storm here. On top of that the water company is also not maintaining their pump house and we are on occasions going without water ! but thats another story ! cant wait to draw our own water from our well , eventually we will supply our own electric (need to invest in a battery bank for that) and our own water. Thanks so much for your question, thanks for popping by, keep safe and well, take care
