The following was submitted by Mr. W. Hoggarth of Shap (Copy Hill) to the 'British Rainfall Guides' regarding the March of 1875
   'Farm work much kept back by the hard frost at the early part of the month; grass land looks much as it did at the latter end of December. Lambs seem to have come a month before their time. The mountains are thickly covered with snow. The farmers took advantage of the dry days at the close of the month to cast in their seed.'
'HISTORICAL EVENTS' (above) is a new page that is a start in recording historical weather in our immediate locality.
The Morland section of the 'Historical' page now contains all monthly rainfall totals for 1902-44 along with comparisons to the rainfall at Newton Rigg and Appleby for the same period.

Weather Lore
