Stormy Weather II

[BBMmk2]

No snow here but it’s either raining, or sunny . If it gets mild, it rains, if it gets cold, it’s sunny with a frost!

A cold, frosty but bright sunny morning.

Iron hard frost - sun / cloud, deeply cold.

Coldest night of the winter thus far here, though it hasn't yet reached "moderate frost" dimensions ( -4 - -7 C). BBM's alternatives are normally the Hobson's Choice in winter: it should start getting milder again down yurr in the next couple of days, but also more unsettled!

There were some astonishing scenes of London snow-blanketted from yesterday on the BBC weather site earlier on, including a cloud formation as the snow belt approached which was so striking - udder-like bosses in the altostratus cloud base known as mamma or mammatus, more normally associated with severe thunderstorms - I have photocopied it for my snap book of unusual cloud formations.

Frost, with heavy cloud.

Dull with rain here !

Still on the way here. At the mo I can see the Hampstead Heath hill mass 12 miles to my north quite clearly. The moment that view starts to mist out I can be sure rain is not far away. Local post office closed at the moment - no notices as to why or when, and this time they've shut down the adjacent lolly machine (while at the same time leaving the square gap open in the metal blind:ko) So one has to do the 20 minute walk to the next nearest newsagent with ATM attachment. (Oh - and where's our "doh" symbol gone?)

Minus 2 here last night, but 4 C now and rising, so we're well over the "snow line", temperature-wise!

A frost overnight, temperature rising slightly during the morning, lack of wind meant the damp didn't feel as cold as it might have. Discrepancy between Met Office and Beeb regarding rain arrival and quantity, and the maps are different regarding the current whereabouts of the rain clouds, so it's anyone's guess for now, although experience suggests Met is better bet. I've been out so it doesn't really matter which way it goes.

[BBMmk2]

I expect, as it’s become more mild today, it will either be like it is now, or rain, again! How come we haven’t had snow, and other epilepsy have?!?!? Be good to see some!

Dank!

What a marvellously expressive word that is!

Dreary too.

I'm trying to work out what BBM was trying to type that got auto-corrected to epilepsy. Keep taking the tablets, BBM!

I think it might have been " places "
Very mild, and the murk is beginning to break up a bit. One pleasant side effect is that the scent of the Christmas box(Sarcococca) and Viburnum flowers is very much in evidence as soon as the back door is opened. It's been too cold to get the best effect up to now.

... my guess was 'people'

Yes, dank and murky yuk. BUT no freeze.
