This evening in Strathmore, a chill fell over the town of Blairgowrie as the winter night began to take hold.

Lee, do you have Photoshop or another graphics program? You could remove some of the fogging, like so:

No don't. The fog is working for you as a mood enhancer. Sorry RR...

These are winter. November, from the weekend of the Ecosse Curry, in fact.

Today, Mid-hampshire.

I don't remember the views on my local training loop ever being so beautiful.

The roads were perfectly dry but everything was covered in a very thick frost, almost as thick as snow

The quoted statement doesn't say so either.  ;)

Your statement is however correct! The weather is Brazil can still be pretty good in winter as you will know. Going to the beach then for example is more than possible in fact, at least for us Northerners.
