The weather

Please don't hate me for posting about the weather. Wink

On a clear day, the view from the windows at the front of my house enables me to see the countryside, which is a couple of miles or so away as the crow flies. On a clear night, I can see street lights twinkling in the distance, which I find rather comforting.

During the past year, I feel the percentage of clear days and nights has been extremely low. If it's not been mist preventing me from having a clear view, then it's been fog. When the weather is misty or foggy during the day, it can cause me to feel rather downbeat and more likely to want to hibernate indoors. When the weather is misty or foggy at night, I can find it rather spooky.

One thing I particularly dislike is when it is dark outside, and I can barely see the residential dwellings on the other side of my road due to thick fog. I can find it rather unnerving, and sometimes it can seem as though the fog is seeping into my house and filling the rooms, like a scene one might expect to see in a horror film.

However, if visibility is reduced as a result of snow falling, I have no issue whatsoever and generally tend to feel quite excited. I'll be that person who points towards the windows and states the obvious... "Look! Look! It's snowing!". Rather than wanting to hibernate under a duvet, I'll find it difficult to drag myself away from looking out of my windows.

Does anyone else find it unsettling when the weather is misty and/or foggy?

  • I’m the same to be honest. Mist and fog is grey and gloomy, just depressing. When I open the curtains and see that, like I did this morning then I close my curtains and dive under the duvet again where it's warm and the mist and fog can't get me. 

    I love snow. I like watching it fall, love the effect it has on the world around us, everything looks so beautiful when it's coated with that glistening white. Like a beautiful canvas painted.

    Mist and fog has no such effect, it hides the beauty and casts a murky shadow which makes me feel extremely depressed and sour when I see it.

    Lately every day has been misty here for the last week or so. I for one am sick of this weather. Some sun would be nice. Blush
