There then followed a couple of cloudy weeks of solid rain. By the time the shadow was visible again it had shifted a lot, and, and, looked like it was visible from the road. The tip is falling on the western pavement of King William Street there, which opened the tantalising possibility of seeing it from the ground again if the weather behaved.
It’s worth noting this was the coldest spell of the year (to date). On the 8th it didn’t get above freezing all day and it snowed long and hard, settled and lasted for days. You can’t see it here but there was still a fair bit on the ground. The pressure was high and getting higher too, and I had high hopes of a sighting at the weekend two days later.
The shot the next day, incidentally, was ruined by a passing cloud. 11:55am fine, 12:05am fine. In between? Nope. Bah.
