Okay, just looking out the window brought a great Scottish word into my mind which really describes Edinburgh's weather this afternoon.
The word is "dreich" - pronounced "dreech", with a Scottish "ch" on the end (like loch).
It's used to describe a day which is cold, wet, grey, overcast, and generally damp and miserable. As far as I know it has no corresponding equivalent in the English language. Only Scotland has days like this
(still ok, Diane?)
