This hallucination must be more wide spread than certain folk realise then! It was cold and surprisingly ice like....
Well, the niche spot of severe frost requiring 'scrapping' of windscreens ( if there was one) must have sent you heavenwards.

Not directly weather related, but may have a seasonal relevance.
Perhaps @Northernlights can comment.
This white stuff has been applied to the former barley field ( harvested 10 days ago or so) on several days over the past week. It blows into my garden.
Lime?

Yep,the old ice scrapper has been out this week,lovely crisp morning that was.
Don't be silly. There has not been an overnight hard frost anywhere, as yet, requiring more than a sweep with the wipers.

Yes a really mixed bag as you say, proper October.
Have you had a 'crisp day' yet.
Or do you expect one soon?

At last a proper Autumn....the outlook is very seasonal. Crisp mornings,Atlantic showing it's presence,colours really developing in the countryside. Interesting weather at last,beats the tedium of Summer hands down in my opinion. Many will disagree though i feel!
A contradiction in terms of your post.

I was lucky enought to watch this lift-off at Montrose Basin not long after sunrise yesterday morning. The cacophony was ear-splitting.There are around 50,000 Pink-feet there at present and numbers will build over the next couple of weeks or so before the majority disperse to overwinter at The Wash and Morecambe Bay.

Something that I've noticed a bit different this year is the amount of geese that are flying over the house in the last few days seems to be a hell of a lot of them !
Instead of flying south seems to be more of an east/south east direction, they're heading in.

It was bright enough but darn cold, 6C and a brisk chilly breeze.
A clear starry night this evening, and so I am expecting another chilly one.

yep cut out the school run and walk to school..i wont hold my breath though
I find this reply completely lacking in rationality in terms of this topic.
Who has parental responsibility, buys the vehicle and the fuel ?- not the children, I would suggest.

I really dislike the generational divisions created on this subject. It does not improve the discussion.
Many of us older folk drive cars, use computers and phones, fly off on hols etc etc as much as our younger fellows do.
However, those who come after us may have to re-think and cut back, in order to compensate for the oldies extravagences in these areas..and I support them and their efforts.

It's been a pretty grim day hereabouts, grey, light to moderate rain on and off during the afternoon, temp 12C currently, which is all rather disappointing as there is quite a good aurora forecast for the weekend.
Still waves of swallows and martins passing through - the martins in the pic are of the sand variety and were among a mixed group of 20-25. They'd better get their skates on.

When on holiday in France I consult
https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=meteociel&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
or
http://www.meteofrance.com/accueil
(or a local rag)
Both these sites I have found reasonably helpful in planning trips etc..

European Union: The EU was a comparatively early adopter of climate targets. In 2009, it set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2020; its Paris target increased that to a 40 percent reduction by 2030. Its present policies, if fully enacted, would enable it to exceed that target. In May, the EU formally adopted into law a series of measures that included a binding target for 32 percent of electricity production to come from renewables by 2030. To achieve that figure across the EU, different countries within the bloc have adopted different national targets: For example, for Malta, the goal is 10 percent renewables, while for Sweden it is 49 percent.
CAT calculates that meeting this and other targets contained in the European Commission’s “Clean Energy for all Europeans” package would result in a reduction in emissions of 48 percent by 2030; a separate study has concluded that further improving energy efficiency targets and closing coal power plants across the EU by 2030 would increase that figure further, to 58 percent. However, because the EU is collectively the third-largest emitter of CO2 behind China and the United States, such a target would just place the bloc in range of a 2 degrees C-compatible reduction.

After a calm, murky but mild morning, the afternoon turned out sunny and warm-ish with a high of 18C, followed by a serene sunset.

It's quite nice to have an unkempt imperfect neat garden when these little beauties turn up in front of the kitchen window;

It has been a beautiful evening, mild and calm, just a suggestion of a sun pillar on returning from the evening doggie walk. It was a reminder of the shortening days in which twilight encroaches quickly.
The bats were out too.

war breaks out in the MOD thread over a cold pool to the North East.... in September yes September. gonna be a very long 6 or 7 months.
TBH, bigsnow, I think the unrealistic, fantasy, snow hunting posts spoil and aggravate the MOD thread and are better suited to other areas of the forum.

Nice to see these native Grey Partridges this morning. These two were among a group of around ten youngsters.

After a more peaceful morning the breeze has perked up again. Watched the clearer weather infiltrating from the north.

LOL
I ventured outside (the door-step anyway) earlier this morning in the rain. There was a rabbit in the garden. However, even after pointing out to my spaniel, Jess, 'BUNNY' she sort of rolled her eyes and trotted back inside.
Disagree with Catch's opinion about spaniels. Jess is an exceptional companion, very sensitive and well-trained - mind you, it drained about 5 years of the owner's patience.
