La Niña…Your thoughts?

[FerlasDave]

I’ve definitely noticed a difference locally in the weather systems we’ve had this winter. Whilst it’s been windier, it’s also been drier and colder than average. We don’t usually get frosts in the valley here but have had a fair few, which has had a positive impact on the plant life in the garden. Germinating seeds rather than drowning them and killing off pests.

What is everyone’s thoughts about the la nena and how has it affected you, positively or negatively perhaps?

Liked their 1st song in the 80's , very catchy-

Can't beat some Cold war related lyrics intertwined with some celebratory inflatable objects floating across an empty military training ground with a heavy application of coloured smokes. Classic.
