One of my colleagues at work walked up to my desk and showed me a screen capture of a satellite picture of clouds across SouthWest England that morning. It was a Morning Glory Cloud. My jaw dropped. What that hang glider did - awesome, but as they don't come with brown bags I better forgo the pleasure

WOW! Some clouds. The Hector cloud looked a little like an anvil-shape to me - and that means tornado warnings. Living in a semi- arid urban area, I miss seeing great clouds in the evening sky. Thanks.

Brrrrrrrrrrr!

[Randi]

When I got up around 8am it was -17C.

[Michael]

0 F for you, 1 C for me.

[Randi]

As of 11:20 it has warmed up to -6C.

A few more degrees and I will go do my grocery shopping!

I typically go for a morning walk. It has been overcast or foggy for a couple of day. Today it was clear and I noticed suddenly how the days have gotten longer! (Sorry Stuart.)

[pommystuart]

Thats OK Morgan, a few less hours of 25C daylight is alright for me.
It's even cooling down a bit at night to abt 17C

Randi- I hear you have snow, lost a bridge and President Biden is coming to town. Hope the bridge doesn't impact daily life too much. Hope everyone recovers quickly.

Thank you!
I don't think it will have any impact on me although it sounds like it will impact a lot of other people.

I read about the bridge earlier: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-60173771
Glad to hear there were no serious injuries. It looks scary though!
