Drowie
- misty, drizzling, damp. These two quotations show how large a part attitude plays in appreciation of the weather. Who would wish to venture On yon grey drowy muir Whaur snell [biting] blasts scour ye ti the bane? (Scots Magazine August 1929). On the other hand, the next quotation conveys a feeling of relief that the rain is not excessive: It was a dull, drowy (showery) sort of day, not a rain, but a Scotch mist, a wee damp as they express it in those parts (Kelso Chronicle 1 January 1915).
