Stormy weather
One of the many things I like about central Ohio is that one can trust the weather forecasts. As we've moved since, our locality's forecasts have become decreasingly useful. Here in Perthshire I find that the forecasts are largely useless except that they are good at providing a day's notice of great windiness.
When we got back from the gym we saw some strange clouds. There were lower gray clouds but then some high white bright cloud that exhibited a kind of chromatic aberration; the color fringing made it feel as if my eyes were malfunctioning. What a rainbow cloud is actually called I don't know but I don't recall ever having seen such before.
Storm Gertrude is visiting today. Last night I laid the recycling bin down against the compostable waste bin so that it wouldn't blow away. This morning I saw some bins blown into the road in Perth and apparently winds reached 80mph in Dundee causing property damage. The Tay Road Bridge connects Dundee to the Kingdom of Fife to the south; my colleagues who live in Fife largely worked from home as both the Tay Road Bridge and Forth Road Bridge were closed; the Tay bridge later opened to cars. The Friarton Bridge, near where we live, pretty much the most northerly segment of motorway, also closed to all but cars. It was agreeably easy to get a parking space at work this morning.
