Burrawang Tuesday 17 May

Weather is once again the topic of conversation as we continue to have a cold snap. On my last visit to the fruit shop there was much speculation as to weather the cold weather would be followed by a colder or warmer winter. The shop owner who would be keenly interested in weather conditions as they affect the quality and quantity of available produce also feels the effect of the colder weather when he goes to the markets in the early hours of the morning. It was interesting that he could discuss the subtle differences of each day of the preceding week with me as the queue formed behind me.
Until this morning we had woken to frosts 4 days running.

 And evenings have been bitterly cold. (Isn't this like a Philip Wolfhagen painting?)


Until this morning when the area was covered by a dense fog that didn't lift until about 10:30AM. I don't know what the difference is between fog and mist. But the fog today was yellowy grey and I always think of mist as white.


Since the fog cleared it has been warmer.
