Storm Ingrid
Appears to be rather dark and foreboding, at least so far. The sky was so dark at 10am this morning that it felt like twilight. According to the forecast it’s likely to get even worse over the next few days, … Continue reading
Nasty pile-up in the snow
More than 100 vehicles pile up on US motorway after crash Fortunately, no-one killed. But what I find most odd is the quote at the end: One man involved in the accident said he could barely see the cars in … Continue reading

Almost the entire world disappeared. These days I’m not sure that isn’t a good thing, mind. Oddly however, it was still possible to make out blue sky above us. I think we must have been right at the top of … Continue reading
