\"\"<\/a> Someone said it got down to -5C this morning, I believe it, a strong cold wind and large heavy clouds racing across the sky greeted me as I stepped outside. All day the wind has blown, patches of blue appearing and quickly disapearing, a few spots of rain but not enough to wet the ground. We have very dramatic interesting skies here, which as a sky watcher I find thrilling at times. These are not this morning’s clouds, but those that preceeded a noisy wet windy storm we had a 2-3 weeks ago. <\/p>\n

Sorry, these pictures will just not arrange themselves as I have directed them, I must have some finer points to learn yet. The other pic, of a sea mist rolling in over the city on an otherwise sunny day is something that happens quite often here, too. Sometimes it sits there a few hours and then evaporates or blows on, other times, especially winter, it becomes a fog that sits around all day. One time we were flying out, as we boarded the plane we were urged to hurry and be seated as a mist was rolling in and could prevent our scheduled take off. Another interesting plane\/departure event was the night a few years ago when a cloud of mosquitoes came aboard with every passenger, it was terrible; people were swinging and swiping at them with papers and magazines, the cabin was not a pretty sight! and the hosties ran out of insecticide before the doors were finally able to be closed for departure. No pic, leaving that one to your imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
