Weather 2008

Hmmm... well perhaps I should say it was lovely to see the new forumist Calvin has joined us, and the (not related in any way to the other Calvin) comic Calvin as well?

Very cold last night with reports of -7^oC. Certainly it was -4^oC at 14.00 GMT. Here is the web of Zygiella x-notata on the trampoline.

Hi it is baltic here as well with minus 5 c here are some pictures from the garden, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Hydrangea flowerheads seem to show the frost nicely.

We had heavy frost on Saturday morning,

Not exactly weather, but has to do with the sky
This special sight was seen from Israel at about 6:30 PM: the moon, Jupiter (above) and Venus.

[Paddy Tobin]

Miriam,

This is the view I had looked forward to for this evening from our living room window as we have had Jupiter and Venus for the past few evenings but not the nice moon to go with them. Unfortunately, we have a cloudy sky this evening and I haven't the view. Tomorrow, perhaps.

Thanks for your photograph.

Great views of both planets here last night

[Maggi Young]

Miriam, a delightful cheery photo... and very clear, too.   
We're "missing" the moon at the moment 

[Paddy Tobin]

Miriam,

By coincidence I have just been at a meeting of a local camera club and one of the members had a photograph just the same as yours, taken this evening in the south of Ireland.

suddenly the world seems smaller and we're all that much closer together..... I like that feeling! 

[Rogan]

It's amazing the effect perspective has - here in South Africa the moon was perfectly aligned midway between Venus and Jupiter...

[Paul T]

And here in Australia it looked like a nice smiley face (although I forgot to go out and look at it!)     Apparently in the US the moon was in such a position as to make it look like a frown instead of a smiley...... maybe that was arranged by their financial markets to suit the occasion.

Morning. More snow this morning in Lincolnshire but thankfully the sun has appeared a few moments ago 

[Maggi Young]

Looks pretty from indoors, Rob..... but there won't be enough snow for the Girls to build snowmen, i think?

[WimB]

Nice, I wish we had some snow.
Now, the only thing we get is rain, rain and... rain. And then the temperatures are flirting with the freezing point so it get's really slippery especially on a bike (which a lot of people experienced last week)
