Not quite as obviously wintry as this yet, but very cold today. I doubt whether it scraped above freezing. Apparently high pressure is stable over the country for several days to come. No snow, but fog out of the city, and over the country as whole. Heathrow was closed today, and it’s possible the fog may stick around for some days. Ideally, we would like it to lift on Christmas Eve: others may prefer it to go earlier. This picture was taken in 2004.

I had my hair cut today so that I could feel the cold on my head properly. Dot drove down to North Suffolk to truly appreciate the fog. Both of us survived – so far.
