"non stop rain for 81 DAYS"

"Rain has fallen every day in Eglwyswrw since October 26 and residents, farmers and their animals are all fed up"
Farmer and local councillor John Davies, 52, described the rain as being as of biblical proportions. He said: "I think everybody in the village is starting to get fed up with it now.
"The forecast for tomorrow is finally dry weather, but to be honest that's been predicted before and hasn't materialised... I think people would much prefer some decent weather than for the village to end up in the record books.... It is grinding people down both physically and psychologically.... Our sheep are pretty hardy animals but even they are looking depressed. Their fleeces are not getting the chance to dry out because of the endless rain. And I've also had to keep my cattle indoors since October.
But while there has been no let-up in the rain, those living in Eglwswrw have at least escaped flood problems as the village stands 423ft above sea level.
We had a tornado warning here yesterday afternoon. The school held my nephews back until the weather cleared. Ultimately, there was no tornado, but my nephews were convinced there was one.

Once climate change kicks into gear, it will never rain there ever again.

What can you give to depressed sheep?

Lift up their spirits a little bit.

I'm thinking something popular in Colorado.

I'm just kidding.

All those wet sheep would turn to sheep-cicles here. It's cold.

One thing that a sheep shouldn't need is a sweater.

Yet they have not broken the rainfall record. Obviously, it's been survived before. I don't know why people would endure such a climate or subject their descendants to it. Sell, and walk away. There are welfare states everywhere now days.

If there's a white male heterosexual American my age who didn't have a hard crush on Karen in 1971 there's something wrong with him.

In 71 there was still some mean in the bones?

I'm so going to hell.
