According to meteorology it's winter now – the first day. What do we expect in winter? Cold winds from the north or the east, squalls, storms, snow storms, hail, ice and dark clouds, perhaps. December is the month of dark weather, according to its name. However, I took the little boy for a walk in his buggie and it was a lovely day. The sky was blue with white clouds – they weren't black. I had to push the pushchair in the stream on the lane – anyway, the water washed the wheels! What type of clouds were they? Weathermen have lots of scientific names (from the Latin) for clouds, but in Cornish we only have a few, perhaps cumulus and nimbus. There's no thundercloud today. The clouds are cumulus, I think.
Deg ger rag hedhyw: Ten words for today
bettegens however, nevertheless
cowasow a wens plural squalls
enawellow ergh plural snow storms
gwatya to expect
gwenjow plural winds < singular gwens (SWFM gwynsow < gwyns)
hager awelyow plural storms
kerrik flogh (m) pushchair, buggie
keser collective hail > keseren (f) hail stone> plural keserednow
warlergh according to
war neb coor anyway
