We may still be in the middle of winter but Mother Nature is ahead of our calendars already with not only a warmer end to July than the beginning of the month, but also many reports coming in nationwide of lambs and calves being born and daffodils blooming.

We can expect some colder air this week but generally speaking it’s a mild to average week ahead weatherwise – with sunnier, drier, weather moving in for Thursday and Friday.

Winter isn’t over but there are signs of an early spring.
