What does it mean when you see a green meteor?

The emerald hue of a green shooting star is believed to carry mystical significance. Legend has it that this celestial marvel is an omen, a harbinger of good fortune and prosperity. When luck graces your path in the form of a green shooting star, seize the moment, for destiny has aligned the cosmos in your favor.

Anyone for a bit of night kite flying, Sunday night?

I am so done with this now! What the hell has happened to our winters? And no it’s not global warming.. that’s a load of ——. I can’t remember the last time we had measurable lying snow

This day last January I posted the first photo. The second was taken today!
 

Never seen it happen until last year! The perfect combination of flooding rain followed by a freeze.

This year I haven’t seen anyone skating on it but others have.

Is that the one between Warminster and Westbury?

Nooo way! For the second day in a row on way home at completely different times but almost the identical place on the road I’ve just seen another bright green Meteot falling into the western skies. 
 

What are the chances. 

Last Jan 24th we were driving to the hospital for the birth of our son when I saw a huge green meteor. Even caught it on the dash cam. Felt like a good omen.

Yes the huge field near the A350/Westbury Road junction. 

[Singing in the Snow]

Already down to -5 here, was not expecting that. It's not meant to be down to -4 until midnight. 

[nettie]

Evening  all , - 3 here at the moment very clear sky.  

[Mapantz]

[Mapantz]

Going the other way now.. -1.9°C

[matt111]

[jtay]

Benson, as per atm... -7C

[Mapantz]

Was at -2.8°C but gone back up to -2.3°C

Really struggling to drop due to the wind.

[Nights King]

Around mu us 6c currently. 

Very cold end to this non event. 

[Mapantz]

It's interesting watching my grass temp fluctuate.. it's a good indicator of when the air temp will go up or down, as there's a slight lag.

[jtay]

-7C here.

-8C at Hurn again.

[nettie]

Morning,   -6c here

[Bald Eagle]

Morning world. -4 climbing up today. Bit chilly. Have a great day  

[Alderc 2.0]

Brr out walking the dog! -7C unpleasant!

[lettice]

Low of -3.9c at 6:30am.

Warming up a little now, -3.3c
Frosty

[Alderc 2.0]

It’s amazing how cold air pools, the local differences are amazing. While walking I managed to record temperatures as high as -1.5C and low as -7.1C.

Hurn down to a rounded -9C now.
