They said that we would have heavy rainfall, but I didn't expect this:

:mrgreen:

Expect a trip report sometime after I've dried the rest of the kit.

See you on the flip-side.

We've been having our fair share of unseasonal weather here, but summer rain's not all that bad when it provides stuff like this, captured a few evenings ago:

 

 

Observant readers will notice the faint secondary arc outside the main one.

I'll have a play with it in Photoshop to see if I can drag out some more detail.

Fed up of rain, snow and wind?

TBH, I'm not. I like such conditions.

That said, I'm aware that there are folk out there that don't like the wintry weather. They sit around moaning about it, wishing that it could be changed.

Well, I've found the answer to all of their prayers. Now they can do something about their local weather conditions!

Not the End of the World

The overnight snow here wasn't as apocalyptic as predicted. At the moment it's snowing very lightly, it's quite mild and the accumulated snow-depth is a measly 15mm at the most. Yes, that's mm not cm. The cars have a light dusting of snow, but they're not iced-up, there having been no overnight freeze.

Even this piddly-farty amount of the fabled white-stuff is enough for the local junior and infant schools to announce that they won't be open today. Less that a mile away from them, however, the local high school is open. How does that work, then?
