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?

    In my part of the UK, the weather of late has mostly been foggy during the evenings and overnight, although with the odd exception it has cleared by mid-morning.

    After the fog had cleared yesterday morning, I noticed the sun was out, although admittedly not for long.

    Currently, it's looking somewhat misty due to the fact that it's raining.
