Hiding the moon
As it got dark, the moon shone brightly for a little while, with just a few wisps of cumulus fractus above. Within half an hour or so, a thin layer of stratocumulus covered the sky and partially obscured it for minutes at a time. It's not as cold as last night but the weather forecast is an 80% probability of freezing conditions tonight.

Late sunrise
I don't often see the sunrise these days but this was late, as it's almost the shortest day. It had been raining overnight, hence drops of water on the window. The stratocumulus was clearing as things warmed up.

The birds are depressed
Today's weather forecast was "The day will be dull and overcast across the region with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, and with mist and patchy fog becoming extensive by evening. Maximum Temperature 10C." Can barely see across the field in front of the house. It's very quiet - no birds singing. A pigeon perched in a tree seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Nothing did.

Pink and blue
Pink-tinted streaks of stratocumulus and contrails at sunset. It's going to be cold tonight - good for star-gazing.

November begins with this
I sat outside for quite a while before sunset, watching lots of cumulus fractus scudding across the sky. It was warm - all I need was a shawl.

Cirrus morning
It was bright and sunny to begin with, with cirrus clouds that typified their name, chosen by Luke Howard (see right) as they reminded him of hair. Cirrus is from the Latin for "tendril" or "curl". It soon clouded over.

Wrong weather forecast
There was supposed to be a deluge of heavy rain with thunder and lightening today, but we thought we'd risk it and go out. Glad we did.

Blue sky to the east
Bit unsettled today. Some blue sky to the east in the afternoon. Rain clouds in the west, but I couldn't get a clear shot of them through the trees.

Looking west
Late in the day, looking west, the sky was a jumble of cumuli, moving fast, while in the east the sky was mostly clear.

Fair weather clouds
A fine day, the sky full of cumulus mediocris, otherwise known as "Simpsons' clouds", like the ones featured the cartoon's opening sequence.

Looks warmer than it is
Today's weather forecast said "sunny intervals". This was one of them, at tea-time. There was ice on the roads this morning, and sleet for a while. Soon after I took this, it went dull and dark again.
