Good evening all

Moonie, it was absolutely freezing up here. We had a couple of snow flurries but nothing settled.

Summer, that’s my kind of exercise - exercise by proxy 😂

El, the orange sky and sandy snow pics are stunning.

I hope you’ve all had a good day

Much the same here - looks as if there may a higher chance of disruptive snow in this part of the country on Thursday and Friday.

I note that BBC is showing the Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger 1946 film "A Matter of Life and Death" at the weekend, It's often shown but is worth watching again from time to time as it's one of the most imaginative films ever made.

A few bits of trivia about the film.

It was released in the States as "Stairway to Heaven" (the Led Zeppelin song of that name has no connection wwith the film).

It's use of colour for the scenes on Earth and back and white for the afterlife scenes is in contrast to that used in "The Wizard of Oz", sepia for the scenes at home and colour for the Oz scenes. Incidentally, although the afterlife scenes are shown in black and white, the film was shot with technicolour stock but those scenes were processed to be black and white.

It was the film debut of Lois Maxwell (not credited).

The opening scene is set in space. Apparently, advice on it was by Arthur C Clarke, not that it's credited. The Earth is shown with a greenish colour as it wasn't known then what it would look like from space. A tiny part of that scene was used by Rank in the 1970s for their screen advertising logo.

Another bit of trivia. During the camera obscura scene with Roger Livesey, two cocker spaniels can be seen. They were Michael Powell's and they were known as Erik and Spangle. They also appeared in three other of his films - "Contraband" (1940), "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), and "I Know where I'm Going" (1945).

Good morning everyone

Very cold overnight but the sun is out right now

Sunny changing to light snow by lunchtime, according to the forecast  

Although the hour by hour view is snow just around 1pm. Make of that what you will

Have a good day and stay warm and safe

Snow warning issued for snow and ice on Saturday which just about covers my area. Last day of this current cold spell in this part of the country though may return.
