It was an icy morning is fog-bound Scotland Monday. Our friend and intrepid Scottish weather reporter Mark Vogan sends us these shots from the Glasgow area--they are something! Mark writes:
"We awoke to a low of 27 degrees with freezing fog that lay some 150-250 feet thick over the valley floor. Here at the house, heavy frost coated all outside objects along with low visibility with the fog, only to find crystal clear skies and brilliant sunshine as I drove up through and above the inversion layer. . We sit in between weather systems and today after 27 degrees, we only rose to 45 degrees here at my house and likely only the upper 30s in Glasgow, we being slightly higher in elevation saw more sunshine, where Glasgow was stuck in the shallow inversion of "trapped cold air."
Wonderful report and photos, Mark! THANKS as always for keeping us posted on weather developments in the UK! Please give your lovely wife Karen our best!!
