A dite nippy

[jhetley]

Went for an evening walk ("evening" being a moving target now, with sunset ever earlier) and discovered that November has come early.  Temperature in the upper 30s F, with breeze.  The TV weather-people have started to whisper "wind chill" and "snow" amongst their incantations.

A "dite" is a Maine measurement, somewhere between a smidge and a bit.

the sun has set before I leave the office at 5pm, here in Scotland.

Our official sunset is 5:26 PM, EDT. Don't know if you do "Daylight Time" or not, but that would be 4:26 EST. Which I will complain about on Sunday (advance warning), that being the return of Standard Time.

The time zones are screwy, as I believe I have grumped on more than one occasion. We're in the same zone as Detroit . . .

And we're considerably south of you -- our latitude corresponds with the south of France. Even if our weather corresponds with maybe Finland.

British Summer Time for the UK ended last weekend. Edinburgh's roughly on the same latitude as Moscow - but thankfully we don't get their weather!

Is a dite larger or smaller than a tad?

That depends on who is measuring, and what.
