Stormy Weather

[Anna]

Get your order in quickly and it can be posted tomorrow!

I think mangerton and I are just about to exchange, not bodily fluids, but a sickly sweet Scottish delicacy. Quite honesly, sugar beats bodily fluids hands down. It is said

How quickly are affections transferred....

That said, our mangy friend is a smoooooooth operator, with his sugared sweetmeats &c. &c.







(Torrential rain overnight has now given way to a sort of windy, leaden day when staying in seems very much the sensible option...)

Astonished to report that here in Ultima Thule, we have had wall-to-wall sunshine all day, damned cold as well, but sun.

Not averse to marauding and plundering, indeed!!

The weather from first thing yesterday to today, has been quite cotrasting. Heavy dowpours yesterday, then followed long sunny periods!! Like today, lovely sunny day, bur rather nippy!(Well it is Novemeber!!)

Sunny, cooler weather here and the lovely, soft light of November especially as the clocks over here went back to Standard Time on Sunday.

First frost of the Winter this morning. Weather station reported -0.4. When I looked out at around 5am there were tiny flakes of snow coming down (frost doesn't fall from the air does it?) However, it soon melted and we've reached 10.9° with a slight drizzle this pm. Barometer continues to rise and is now 1018.6

Yesterday was brilliant, sunshine all the way and perfectly clear night for Guy Fawkes, lots of whizzbangs all evening. I think we are now in for milder weather for a while?

A sharp frost here this morning and glad of a lift to hairdresser and supermarket. But walking home later the cold wind was very nasty indeed and somehow my gloves and woolly hat were packed in my trolley under all my shopping so I froze.

Oh dear, saly. I hope you are now properly warmed up.

It was another car-scraping evening after work at 8.00 yesterday. This morning though it was mildish and wet. At 4.30 tonight it was a surprising 12°C and 1009 mb.

You have the advantage in Dundee of what is known as the "Fohn Effect", where moist air of maritime tropical origin (which this is) dries out descending on the lee side of high ground and compresses, raising its temperature. Some of the highest midwinter temperatures in the UK have been recorded down Scotland's east coast

Thanks, S_A, that's interesting. I shall read about this.
