Another look at that awesome cloud now seen floating over and reflecting into the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. We first saw it while on Tangier Island. This time we were on the ferry boat ride back to Reedsville and some more back road riding. Due to the times of the ferry boat rides, you only have two hours on the island, but that's OK because it's not a very big island and it's a working island so not too much to see!

Had a night in the Peak District at the weekend. Not much time for photography though, and weather wasnt the best. This is about the only bit of light that happened!

We went for a hike at Cloud's Edge. Very cool sim.

‘Beware the Blackthorn Winter’ is a country saying about a spell of cold weather in early April which often coincides with the blossoming of the blackthorn (Prunus Spinosa). The pure white of the blackthorn blossom matches the snow or hoar frost covering the fields nearby and almost invariably bitter north easterly winds. The longer days and sun gaining strength at this time of year often give a spell of warmer weather - but then the Blackthorn Winter comes along and reminds us it’s not quite summer yet. Statistically, we are more likely to have snow at Easter than at Christmas.

A Blackthorn Winter can be described as the opposite of an Indian summer.

Blackthorn white blossoms appear before the leaves, creating a contrast against the dark smooth thorny branches. The blackthorn flowers eventually become purple sloes, ripening in autumn and harvested traditionally in October or November, after the first frosts, and used to make a Sloe gin liqueur.

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are clouds in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 m (49,000–82,000 ft). They are best observed during civil twilight, when the Sun is between 1 and 6 degrees below the horizon, as well as in winter and in more northerly latitudes.[1] One main type of PSC is made up mostly of supercooled droplets of water and nitric acid and is implicated in the formation of ozone holes.[2] The other main type consists only of ice crystals which are not harmful. This type of PSC is also referred to as nacreous (/ˈneɪkriəs/, from nacre, or mother of pearl, due to its iridescence).

I'm glad I spent it with you.

Berkeley, California

From an inversion at the far end of the country to another almost on my doorstep. During Christmas week we had a series of days where very nearly the entire county of Worcestershire was under a blanket of fog - with the exception of the highest parts of the Malvern Hills. This was the view looking south from Summer Hill towards Pinnacle Hill on Boxing Day morning. The fog bank on the Herefordshire side of the hills (to the right) was higher than in the Worcestershire side and the cloud flowed over Wyche Cutting like a waterfall. It was a remarkable sight.
