303 - After a series of grey wet days over Christmas and New Year, yesterday was brighter with some sunshine, and today was back to dull and wet, at least until this strip of brighter sky this afternoon.
With flood water appearing in some of York's riverside streets, for the third time since September, it's hard to believe that we started 2012 with serious concerns over drought. It seems 2013 is going to be rather different, although we are promised drier weather for the next 2-3 days.
Lovely shot!!!
The town in South Africa where I live had the same in 2011... we started the year in a very serious drought, and ended it in floods!!! 2012 we had more floods... and now 4-5 months later, some areas are still swamped!!!
Dramatic sky. I am a bit north of you in South Shields and it was gloomy for most of the day and we were hoping for some brighter weather after yesterday
Thank you Therese - apparently this area had its wettest year since records began, yet the first three months were very dry! I hope you weren't affected by the floods - they make such a mess, and I feel so sorry for those who lose so much in the flood water.
Thank you Stevie - it was a brief dramatic interlude before the grey took over again. The project has become rather addictive - don't know what I'm going to do when I get to the end in just over 2 months!

Thank you Nicole - it was fairly brief though!
Thank you Pyrrhula, it was amazing how quickly it was changing.

Thank you Hazel - this was a brief interlude in the grey skies!
Thank you Lesley - it looked rather threatening, but most of the day was just grey and miserable with light rain.
Thank you Ladyjane - it was nice to see the brightness, even for a brief period
Thank you Mickey - not too much rain since then, just more grey!
Thank you Brian - it looked threatening, but stayed fairly dry.
Thank you Tony - very little rain since then, and supposed to be dry but overcast for the next few days.
Thank you Bill - the flash of bright sky was rather brief.

Thank you Kd - it was amazing how quickly this appeared and then faded back to grey.
Thank you David - it could be the wind! - that gap soon closed up!
Thank you Roslyn, glad you like it!
