Hill Fog - how ?

A classic case of human beans (meteorologists that is, present company excepted ) b****ring about with perfectly good words that they invented in the first place because they're bored?

 

Don't leave us hanging in suspenders, Sandy...what is it? And what's the technical definition of steam?

 

It's the French word for louvre shutters, (and jealousy) non? What's it mean in english?

 

Technically, steam is water in gas phase, and therefore, invisible. Although the term is used today, an engineer would normally consider visible vapours coming from water as being steam that had lost energy.

@noisette47 I had to tell you to get you out of your suspenders!

 

Eek! In public, too The early morning coffee will never be the same again...

 

Here we go, harping back to skool days, but I always remember being told in science class that when a kettle boils the bit you cant see, nearest the spout, is water vapour, as it condenses, slightly further from the spout, it becomes steam.
So again not sure if that is right.

I do find it worrying when you finish a post with, "I might be talking rubbish".
And you get 4 people agreeing and one thinking it's funny.

 

I have a job to see the kettle first thing, let alone the finer points of what's coming out the spout! I was just agreeing with the bit about low cloud @pete! Honestly....:kitty chris:

 

I kind if thought the French word for Louvre might be Louvre, it sounds French to me.
I thought it was an art gallery?

 

Ja'i avez un kettle qui mettez moi de dans l'hospital

 

@ARMANDII I'll stick with the dried frog pills, thanks
@pete Yep but the French never use one word when ten will do. And now you've got me hunting for an explanation for the naming of the Louvre.....
@Zigs J'avais une bouilloire qui m'a mis dans l'hôpital How's the Russian coming along?
