Re: First Frost

We've just had the first pre christmas frost here for a good few years! Last year we didn't get one until February! Lovely morning I can look one way and sea the sunrise over the sea and the other sparkling frost in the garden with the woods behind. Very clear air. It's better for you when there's frost or snow (and I believe by waterfalls) as there are more negative ions in the air.

Re: First Frost

Not a cloud in the sky here and quite cold, but no sign of frost as far as I can see.

Re: First Frost

Absolutely bitter here tonight.I think we`re forecast some rain, but if the temps stay this low its likely to end up as sleet

Its cold and nice Julie jam but when your fingers refuse to work the controls of the camera it gets rather frustrating especially if your trying to catch something in flight or unexpected,but we will survive,we will soldier on we are used to it I think

Re: First Frost

On Thursday I woke to dense fog and heavy frost, but the sun looked as though it might break through. I got on my little motorbike fast and headed acrosss the valley and steep uphill. It was lovely on the way, a mixture of mist, sunlight and hoar frost on the trees. On the Ridgeway, 1700 feet up, I was in bright sunlight above the clouds! All the hilltops for miles were sunlit, with every valley full of cloud!

Oh, do I love it here!
