FabSwingers.com forum: Long Hard Winter

By *icketysplits OP Woman

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Apparently, a swan has arrived at Slimbridge 25 days earlier than any swan has ever arrived before.

It augers a long hard winter ahead of us as the swans fly ahead of the cold weather.

I am beginning to think it's time for the not so summery duvet and maybe the heating should go on two weeks early.

Is the swan wrong?

Hardly a scientific way of long range weather forecasting is it...

I do sometimes wonder about our weather presenters, but I'm pretty sure they're more qualified for predicting the weather than a bird.

We had seriously hard winters a couple of years ago. Was the swan early then?

England is a weird place. It rains in the winter instead of snowing...and you determine the length of your winter via swan instead of groundhog.

I'm going to get another sweater.

nature and its animals usually know what's going on, the squirrels where we walk have been stocking up at a faster rate than most of us have seen before..

and the birds are doing similar in our garden..

maybe one swan does not a bad winter make, however the last 2 winters have been very mild so who knows..

I never switch on until 1st November and it goes off on 31st March.

It was really cold and a bit windy at Tai Chi (outdoors) this morning though and I haven't really managed to warm up since.

I'm inclined to follow those who use massive supercomputers and their expertise to predict the weather. And most weather experts believe that long range forecasting isn't that accurate.

We know of systems like the el nino effect, that impact on weather in specific ways but I think a swan - if it's flown in from another country, may be revealing more about where it's left from. Maybe the queen was trying to catch and eat it.

Anyway you lot, go overseas into the warmth. I'm about to book mine. Isle of Man sounds interesting, it's full of blokes.

No it's not wrong, it's just a swan, I don't ask it for advice on the stock exchange either or who's gonna win the rugby world cup...

Birds migrate for lots of reasons, hardly any of them are to do with the weather!

Some people are jumping on the largest el nino is history, which seem to have a causation with cold European winters and going aha... Look swans

and squirrels

So let's get back to what we do know... You lot are causing weather patterns to change from your carbon causing lifestyle!

Forget the swans and the fucking squirrels and concentrate on science and your lifestyle

I hope you mean "us lot" or are you some other species managing not to contribute to the carbon footprint at all?
