I just take a screen shot, but I use Macs.  And I wasn't having a go at you, Steve; I was speaking generally about the sunsets at the moment.  The one last night just moved into an orange glow. Clouds would have made it so much nicer.

Didn't think you were having    *punch*  .........   I was disappointed after posting a recommendation to view the sunset and it turning out to be a bit peely-wally, will have to keep an eye on the web cam, and Mrs H is explaining the screen grab to me.  :-[  so with luck I can post some photos.

Steve
To screen grab I use LINK

Irfanview is free; good for sorting photos too
Needs a little patience at first but well worth the effort

Steve   &well&
With your image on screen left click mouse and scribe a rectangle shape
Then under Edit drop-down menu; select Crop Selection (cut out)

Under File drop-down menu select; Save (original folder)

Or save as... and give it a name
Good luck
John

Just in case, outside taps and hoses, plants etc

An ice warning has been issued for large parts of North Wales on Friday morning.   including the 3T area

The Met Office issued a yellow warning saying temperatures are expected to fall way below freezing.

The warning is in place from just after midnight to 10am on Friday, November 29.

Just to add to what Steve's said, the big danger is that the rain that falls won't have dried out before it freezes, so you might step out tomorrow onto a sheet of black ice.

Had this once before - in 2010. We couldn't even walk across our drive.

The Met office has removed Conwy from the Weather warning of extreme winds later today. It'll still be a tad breezy  bu it will start around three hours later than originally thought and we'll avoid the worst.

This is an excellent site for weather watchers and a chilling example of just how nasty climate change is becoming.

So are we, but the evenings start getting lighter today, but the morning don't change for around two weeks. Very annoying :-)

North Wales could be warmer than Athens as Met Office predicts unseasonably high temperatures
The mercury  could ?  hit 16C this weekend in some areas

BUT ......"Towards the middle of next week, it looks to remain rather unsettled for a time as bands of wet and windy weather cross the UK.
