    The night before last I looked out the bedroom window at 2.30 am and was convinced the garden had had a fall of snow. Everywhere white. The line of the trees could clearly be seen where it looked as if they had blocked the fall off from the prevailing wind.</p>

    Yesterday morning, nothing, not even wet - and it was quite mild. nothing on the news or weather.</p>

    Puzzled and convinced it had snowed, until today, when I read that the full moon is so very close to us on its present orbit, closer than it has been for a couple of decades and higher in the sky.</p>

    Presumably that was it, but I can say that it must have been a belter of a moon on Wednesday night. The entire surroundings were bleached out by the light.</p>

    Strange - I find that ineresting. Perhaps you won't.</p>

    Not exactly a "modern phenomena"

    There has been some strange light phenomena of late. I believe the moon is very close to the earth at present. Maybe it accounts for the spate of traffic accidents that are blocking roads all over the country, and the strange murders and suicides.

    A close orbit coinciding with a full moon is, by such standards, a fairly unusual phenomena, and in my lifetime comparitively modern.</p>

    The effects it gave off at that time would have been witnessed by very few people, it was quite outstanding, and I have to say it did have sleepy old me fooled.</p>

    Anyway, I thought it was fairly remarkable, so ballax.</p>

    Didn't really want to bring it up, but there has been one or two unsavoury things happening just recently in the area.
