My very own climate change

It is something I’ve never experienced before – indoor clouds!  Well, inside sort of – actually in my workshop.

The hard frost meant iced up locks and bitter working conditions today, and I might have given in, except for the strong sun, which stung my already ‘frost-burned’ face.  As soon as it was high enough in the sky, it hit the workshop roof and my whole shed steamed and crackled.

But what went on inside was even more dramatic, and magical.  Great swirls and cloud plumes rolled and spread above my head, and no sooner had the clouds appeared, they became heavy and began to descend – thinning and turning into ice crystals which sparkled and fell like rain.

It was extraordinary!
