I took this one a couple of days ago of our local bit of sea with bits of ice floating around in the glow of the sunset.

But today we are back to normal; rain and wind.

Pure pleasure, Steve.

It is amazing how different orders of magnitude may look the same.

Pleasure for looking at but I fear that only the very hardiest souls would wish to swim in it.

It pretends to be here.

How is it there?

I think we in the south of England may have to live without it this year.

Doug, I think you speak for South-central Alaska as well. Lots and lots of rain, occasional nighttime freezing. Amazing orange orb settling through the Cook Inlet fog as we drove south late this afternoon, but no time to stop for a photo.

At long last: the very first show this winter.

Scaringly enough, it may also be the last. The weather downcast is all about thaw and wet water, after one winter day.

A pal of mine just sent me this on FB. I think it comes from the Great Lakes.

Compared to that it’s cosy here.

And maybe we shall never know how it ended.

It is no longer here, the only whiteness being a light ghost show and the last shadow show.

I wonder how it is over/up there.

Nice nearly-springish weather up her.

Sunshine but still a chill in the wind.

Frost on the windscreen in the morning but it’s gone by around 9.

The grass is dusty because of all the ash that came with the last snow and they say that this March was the driest on record since 1949.

So we could do with some good heavy rain to clean things up.

Day before yesterday near -17℃, now at 3℃. It seems that we've had more days of melting than not for the past two months, yet still there's white slipperyness everywhere. Not particularly picture-worthy. We can do without the rain. No ash for a couple of years, I think.

The gentle beginning of the fourth winter this year. Seemingly it will last a bit longer than the third, maybe until the end or even into the next.

How is it up/over there?

Generally nondescript up here. This one averaged 55%K.

Some slight snow last week that came down brownish and covered the car and the house with mud.

We think it was volcanic ash from Eyjafjallajökull that got caught up in the high winds.

Hosing helped but there’s still mud on the ground. Maybe it’ll help the grass grow.

How many words are there for (what feels like) snow in Icelandic, Steve (including different values of K and maybe even CMY)?

With the sufficient luck we have just started on our third winter this year; that is, if the NAO stays on our side (down) instead of going belly up as it has happened thrice over the last month.

As it appears, many cross the farmyard. Apart from the backtracking bigfootprints, there are many different made by paws, claws, and cloven hooves.
