I wanted altitude, but all I got was platitude. ;-(

When it rains here, I sometimes think: "It's snowing less than 2 miles
away." The 2 miles being straight up, of course.

Yes, it's strange to think that 8 miles away the temperature is about -50C.

I've often wondered how much fun it would be if the UK were a 1000m plateau,
dropping steeply into the sea all around. We would have sun traps in the east
and south and dry but arctic conditions on the plateau in winter. Would make for
some interesting forecasts too?
