Bloody miserable days apart from that, ain't they?

Not up here. I was very suprised when talking to my sisters down south
on Wednesday evening to hear about the fuss a bit of fog in the SE has
created.


And if you take a peek at the full image (5459kB) found at:

You'll see why, the snow on Cross Fell is clearly visible and that of the
high parts of the Lake District peaks. The South Tyne, Nent, Tees, Wear
and Allen vallies are all clear but the Eden valley is fog bound.

Bit further south into Yorkshire and the plumes from half a dozen power
stations can be seen with the plume shadow on the fog.


I have just been looking at the lunar declinations at:

(You have to hit the "UTC" button to change the time from "now" and
then mess with the dates and hours to mess with the tables.)

The point being that the declination at which the moon reaches 60
degrees from some 52/53 degrees North is tomorrow evening (between 6pm
through midnight.

I did mention it looked like a weak spell some time ago.


Weak as in not very sunny, that is.

Bondo is back as a Cat 4, so I suppose it is all a matter of
perspective. For me it just looks bloody miserable but for someone on
the Seychelles, I have no doubt it feels a lot worse than that.
