As it's September it's time for me to get nerdy and watch the webcams. Anyone care to join me?
If I had a prize to give for the first snow fall spotted (Europe) I would, but I don't, so I can't.

Just in case the teacher in you cannot read :lol: I have enclosed a piece of text for you to ponder on :wink:
However, in the United Kingdom and Ireland the winter solstice is traditionally considered as midwinter, the winter season beginning November 1 on All Hallows or Samhain. Winter ends and spring begins on Imbolc or Candlemas, which is February 1 or 2. This system of seasons is based on the length of days exclusively. The three-month period of the shortest days and weakest solar radiation occurs during November, December and January in the Northern Hemisphere (May-July in the Southern). 8) 8)

Glad it's not just me.
There are some sprinkles forecast this week, and not just on the glaciers.
Bring on the winter!

Sorry...
Autumn
As we continue our journey around the Sun, the north pole moves away from the Sun. The Sun rises lower in the sky so the days continue getting shorter. When the Sun is at its mid-point in the sky, we reach the 'autumn equinox', around 22 September. Day and night are both 12 hours long and its the beginning of autumn.
Winter
The day when the north pole is furthest from the Sun is called the 'winter solstice'. The Sun crosses the sky at its lowest point all year. Therefore it crosses the sky in the quickest time so this is the shortest day of the year. Winter solstice happens around 22 December and marks the start of winter. From then on, the days start getting longer.
:shock: It's the teacher in me!
