grey from 8am47°F

Grey before dawn and cold, the air near 40°F under a full lid of cloud and a stiff breeze that fell off as the light came. The coldest hour came at 7am, near 31°. Then it climbed. The cloud never lifted, but the afternoon was mild for January all the same, the air up near 49° and almost still. A grey, soft light. Evening cooled fast under the same ceiling and the cloud held into the night.
