When the mist descends over the island, you will undoubtedly hear folk say 'Manannan's clock is upon us.'
Manannan is the mythical god of the sea, lord and protector of our land, the Isle of Man. It is said that in times of trouble he protected the island from enemies by throwing this cloak of mist over us.
Personally it feels like the only vaguely positive thing to say when you can't see further than 5 metres ahead of you. Works for me!
