The Fog

Ok. Looked out this morning and can't see more than 20 yards. The fog is here.
What about where you are?

Re: The Fog

Hi Julie
Well I just looked out the back door and I can see stars but I can see clouds moving in. Drive careful if you have to go out

Re: The Fog

I'm in Gravesend this week and they were blowing the foghorn at 5.30 when I got up. This has rather knackered my plan to walk along the sea wall all morning...

cheers,

Ian

Re: The Fog

We've got freezing fog this morning here in rural Cambs - a potentially lethal combination on the roads. Take care out there.

Re: The Fog

It seems foggy every day when I wake up but I have now looked out of the window and it seems relatively clear across the Thames in Essex.

Re: The Fog

No sign of fog at the moment in our neck of the woods (Lancashire) just getting our boots on - we are off to Spring Wood and then on to Burgh Wood.

Re: The Fog

No fog .... but it is a tad misty and a pastel pink sunrise has now revealed a sharp frost .... a lovely winter morning here in Essex .

Julie .... it seems like Essex has scored again over Kent .

Re: The Fog

Misty here when I got up at 7.30, but a pale sun is now shining and it looks like being a cold, crisp day.

Re: The Fog

No frost and a tincy bit of mist, probably thick fog on higher ground.

Re: The Fog

Frost and a misty start, as daylight broke the fog rolled in. Visibility around 50 yards and doesn't look like getting any better.

Humph!

That's those big 'ol wind turbines out in the Thames Estuary. They've wafted it our way.
I'll have to nip out there in my dingy tonight and point them in your direction Richard.

Well, if we all eat enough brussels over Christmas, we can locate each other by sound

Re: The Fog

Still no sign of any fog - has been a cool day here in Lancashire - but I have worked outside most of the day - at least it's been dry.
Must admit I kept bobbing into the greenhouse which is heated.

That will teach me to gloat at Kent's expense.

Within 15 minutes of sending my message this morning saying Essex was having a lovely day, the fog rolled in and it has been misty all day!

No need for the dinghy Julie .

Re: The Fog

Started out foggy, cleared into a beautiful sunny day, hence why I went to Holme Pierrepont.

The Met Office local area forecast for Cambs also said the fog would lift and the sun would come out so I decided to use my last 1/2 day's holiday and go to the RSPB's Ouse Washes reserve this afternoon.

Well the fog didn't lift and with the water in the washes so high I hardly saw a thing despite walking at least 3 miles and visiting 4 of the 10 hides

In fact my best bird view of the afternoon was a pair of wrens under the steps of one of the hides - a very disappointing afternoon.

Re: The Fog

But spectacularly vivid red sunrise as we travelled through Essex, much fog everywhere, and lots of road accidents and delays, Blackwall and Dartford tunnels, and equally spectacular Turner sunset (with fog) as we travelled through London on our way back home. The middle of the day was bright and sunny in Forest Gate in London.

Re: The Fog

The silent grey blanket
Wraps it's arms around my being
A world without senses
The eye unseeing


The beast in the mist, it cries, it morns
A song of saddness... blow foghorn
Warn of danger and devils, to those remote
Listen captain, protect your boat!


The microbes of badness
In the mist, they float
It's got me, oh it's got me
Now I've got a rotten BAD THROAT!


Me, serious poet?
Joke
Julie


Yeah-it's back again(the fog) and yeah I'm going down with a cold.
