The overnight fog has been persistent across the Cromarty Firth and Straths and glens of Easter Ross this morning. In fact temperatures are still subzero after a moderate overnight frost. Here in StrathpefferStrathpeffer Strathpeffer (Scottish Gaelic: Srath Pheofhair) is a village and spa town in Easter Ross, Highland, Scotland, with a population of 1,469. temperatures fell to -3.5°C in the first frost of the Autumn. The fog looks to be around 300 feet thick or so and is blowing up the strath from the east. Higher up above the inversion at around 750 feet there’s a 5 to 10 knots wind blowing from the south. So as well as fog blowing up the strath from the east some is blowing up and over the ridge of the Cat’s back from the south. You can barely see what all the fuss is about in the lunchtime satellite image.
My shadow cast a faint gloryGlory A glory is an optical phenomenon, resembling an iconic saint's halo around the shadow of the observer's head, caused by sunlight or (more rarely) moonlight interacting with the tiny water droplets that comprise mist or clouds. The glory consists of one or more concentric, successively dimmer rings, each of which is red on the outside and bluish towards the centre. Due to its appearance, the phenomenon is sometimes mistaken for a circular rainbow, but the latter has a much larger diameter and is caused by different physical processes. as I walked along the ridge.
