I've been keeping track on hurricane Epsilon, it is forcasted to become
a depression soon. But I don't know, this one looks like a fighter to
me. I just hope that is dissipates soon in the middle of nowhere or we
will have a very bad christmas.

The UK generally has a storm around Xmess, in which at least one ship
runs aground. I don't know if this is due to festive spirit or unduly
severe storms at the time of year.

We haven't had one for a year or so, maybe they are all being expended
down south and earlier in the year these days?

The Hurricane looks drunk! Strange:

To use a somewhat "in" phrase, the reason is:
"We are having the wrong type of" fog.

But it's still fog -or mist, so there is appropriate cyclonic behaviour
to match in the more southern reaches.

Maybe a little off topic:

If you know anyone with a touch of arthritis or lumbago, check with
them to see if they are "feeling the weather". Let me know how you get
on.
