Edinburgh weathers...

We begin to understand why weather is always the first topic of conversation, and why that conversation tends towards bemused frustration. The day began with a blizzard (for Edinburgh, anyway)-- about 3" of snow fell in a few hours while cold winds blew pushing the wind chill down to about -5C (frigid for Edinburgh). The wind died before noon, and around 1pm the sun emerged. Now, at 3.15pm, a thick fog has enveloped the city, while temperatures moderate significantly. The only constant about the weather is that it is totally impossible to predict for more than a few hours in advance, and not always that.
