.... 23 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hear the word haar (sea fog) all the time in Edinburgh. Coming from a town nearby on the Firth of Forth where they are a regular occurrence, I was brought up with that word. I think there's an English East coast equivalent, 'Fret'.

Compo 10,328 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Beans! We're still getting frosts here. My grape leaves have shrivelled and even the Hydrangeas have died right back. At least last winter, despite the severe cold and snowy conditions, the temperature returned to normal in April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
