The main A17 runs parallel to the coast a couple of miles inland and is on a raised causeway. I t is quite common for one side (usually the coast side) to be foggy, raining or snowing while the weather on the other side is fine.Rob Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533996736711014752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-14248836784967221952018-05-29T14:28:17.078+01:002018-05-29T14:28:17.078+01:00Passing up the opportunity to make some sort of re...Passing up the opportunity to make some sort of remark about Dove Cotes of Arms, I shall ponder the unlikely possibility that 'Haar' has descended from the days of the Jutes and Angles who came from the low countries if memory serves better than usual rather than the more likely Low Countries trade which was so important during medieval and renaissance days before remarking that such sudden coastal fogs are well known where the cold North Atlantic meets the shores of Newfoundland and Nov Scotia. <br /><br />In Halifax in early summer it often stands like a wall across the mouth of the harbour on sunny days, caressing points of land that jut too far forward and occasionally rolling forward briefly to warm itself on land.<br /><br />I have shadowy, distant, memories of steaming into it and having the visible world disappear for three days with only the radio and radar to suggest that other things were out there with us.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
