Hooray! The rain has stopped - what will this mean for sales?

Better because people will be happier?

or

Worse because people aren't shut up inside so much?

The snow's on it's way.......

[stuffbuyeruk]

Oh noes 😞

And just when things were warming up slightly 😞

Depends if you are selling Wellie Boots or Suncream I suppose.

From a variety of news sources it's unlikely that many areas subject to flooding are likely to see levels falling with any significance until the end of March at the earliest.

Then given  that many will be unlikely to have a full resolution before the end of the year.............................

And that the percentage of the population seriously affected by the adverse weather is pretty small.

I doubt a short spell of fair(ish) weather will have much effect what-so-ever.

Luckily us in the north east have had very little rain and the mildest winter I can remember (frost scraping on car: about three this winter so far)

[jacki-shark]

It has not rained for three weeks

Now, can we get this discussion board back to EBAY realted topics please?

Spoke too soon, raining again today, puddles the size of small ponds 😞

Sales of Waterproof Jackets will dry up. Pun there somewhere. Has been warm though, hardly worn my gloves this year, which is a first in all the Winters I can remember, only scrapped Car Windows a couple of times.

I don't think it is as straightforward as that because much will depend on the product line.  People selling sundresses might welcome the change in the weather (torrential rain here yesterday) but people selling waders might not feel as optimistic.

Then there are all the special 'days' and holidays to be catered for, Mothering Sunday, Easter etc.
