Can anyone else see outside at the moment?? There seems to be an eerie orange glow all around. Bizarrly the clouds are moving very fast but there doesn't seem to be any wind..very weird looking.

Oh yeah, it's just a sunset though isn't it ?

I think its going to snow..i wager 10p on this!!!

The sky is an amazing colour at the moment.

We have had some spectacular sky's over the past week or so. I Work at British Glass at the top of Chapeltown and can see right across Sheffield and the north surrounding it. I took a few piccies the other day on my phone, will get them on pc tonight and find a way of getting them on net for you all to have a look at.

Regards
Deano

I'll take that bet!!

weve got pinky/red here!

yeah i just got that- its just gone dark here at west barr now tho.

How Strange.. Is it the sunset? I have a building over the road
obscuring my vision so all I can see is orange

It looks very strange. Thought I was going mad for a sec.

It's a gorgeous deep purple here in Norfolk Park.

It did look like the sort of thing you see when snow is around at sunset.

I'm not sure its going to actually snow though.

There were some really good sunsets last week as well. Autumn is my favourite time of the year for this reason.

It looked very armageddonesque...clouds rollings in, orange glow all around...very impressive looking.
It's like God's dicking about with photoshop and altering the hue of the universe.

It's definitely the effects of the sun on clouds at medium level height.

I have just started walking round work singing "its the end of the world" by R.E.M :D

When you are as old and wise as Yoda you learn these things.

It's day's like this, when you look up to the sky and and just smile at the sheer beauty of it, that make up for all the other crappy, cold, cloudy days!

Yes, I saw that too. My wife went outside a few minutes ago and took some photos.

No, my house faces the wrong way :0(

Give me a Sheffield sunset anyday :clap:

or a sunrise on a sunday morning.... when all you can smell is kehbabs and tramps

About 40 mins ago I was walking down South Road, and it was the normal, dull, greyness you'd expect.

Went into a shop for a few minutes, and when I came out there was this beautiful, strange, orange glow, as described. Lovely, but very eerie. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

It's all gone dark now!

Whats so special about Ibiza, surely you see the sun set out at see, so it would look that way from anywhere in that general area ?

I love sunrises. I don't suppose all that many of you see them?!

There are very few days when the sunrise does not offer you something nice to look at.

I prefer sunsets, when you're coming back into town on the tram and get to the bridge over the parkway, if there is a sunset at that time it looks great 'cause you have agood view of the city too.

i think with ibiza its the whole atmosphere, and they are very very beautiful abroad, here they mostly look smoggy

Del mar anytime- i know its sterio typical but its still the best place!!

Nick- the colours when it goes down are breathtaking, from deep red to orange and yellow and the reflection off the water- its just magical!!!

god i hate england, he he only kidding

The best one I ever saw was in Arizona, over the Superstition Mountains outside Phoenix. It was fairly rare too as they don't realy have clouds.

storms are always good to watch, my gramps lives bottom of mountain overlooking sea, you can see em coming in for miles its ace

Even in deepest Chesterfield they had the weird glow.....tho it was a more pinky

I'm afraid that was the sun finally burning itself out, it will now be be dark forever - or possibly even longer.

My eldest was quite excited about the orange glow.. And I must admit it did look quite like there were snow clouds gathering.
My dear old grandma allways said you could smell the snow in the air, and she was allways right at predicting a storm she would heap more coal on the aga .. hope it snows it covers up all the crappy stuff and everything looks nice :) and I can pelt the kids with snowballs HA!

Sickly yellow skies in the afternoon, a strange eerie light does often indicate snow. Don't know why, but I would sure be interested to find out.

i got yesterdays sky using the camera on my nokia, merged 4 photos together with photoshop to make this:

again the colours are very nice, looks like early morning or something but its actually afternoon.

I saw todays orange hue today too from nether edge, it was very strange, looked tea-stained. definately looked like a photoshop filter. reminded me of that last solar eclipse

I work in town and it went from pink to purple when more clouds appeared over head..

it looked lke the final scene of ghostbusters !!! cool :)
