It's not been that good a week weather wise, even allowing for the fact it is December. The temperature has been reasonably mild, at times, but then has quickly reverted to more average values for mid December. We've not had any great amount of rain on any one day, but it's rained most days.

| Temperature & Rainfall Records 16 November - 16 December 2019 |
The forecast was for snow showers through last Saturday and into Sunday morning, but they didn't materialise and fell as rain, although there seems to have been plenty of snow about in higher areas of Yorkshire. The rainfall for most of the last month has been in the form of showers and, falling on previously saturated ground after three months of above average rainfall, the ground is well and truly waterlogged. The showers over the last month have added up to 47.2mm which is about average for a month's rainfall.
It's not been the sort of weather to encourage us to visit the allotment to make a start on any of the winter jobs we had planned. The ground never gets any chance to start to dry out. We are running a little bit low on fresh vegetables so a visit to the plot between showers is probably due. The wet weather started in September and is continuing into December. Other than harvesting a few vegetables we haven't done very much at all at the allotment since the beginning of September. If it ever does dry out spring is going to be very busy in the garden and at the allotment but in the meantime I'd better start looking through the seed catalogues.
