Cloudy this morning, and whilst the sun made some fleeting appearances throughout the day, gradually rain moved in, including some heavy bursts just at rush hour.
Still cold, with no sign in the forecast that it'll change any time soon.
By evening, the showers died but there was still an active sky, sunshine lighting the clouds creating a fiery spectacle.
