Ice forms on the cables that carry the power for the trains. The ice causes the pickup on the locomotive to bounce off the cable making bright sparks and loud cracking noises.
Fizz, crackle and pop!

The sun is back…
The “return of the sun” day is officially the 23rd of January but several days of overcast weather have kept the sun at bay. Today the living room was bathed in sunshine for the first time this year. Although we don’t suffer from the winter blues it is still a great moment when the sun returns to our home.
The view, always different, always the same. Today: sunshine with a very faint corona.
Dazzle season is back… soon we will be pulling the curtains to keep out the light.
