"Skyed in" is a phrasal verb that refers to the act of being secluded or trapped indoors due to adverse weather conditions, usually pertaining to heavy cloud cover or low-lying clouds obscuring visibility. It is often used to describe the feeling of being confined within one's own home or shelter, unable to go outside or enjoy outdoor activities due to the atmospheric hindrance.
The term "skyed in" implies a sense of being isolated from the outside world, as if the sky itself has formed a barrier and limited one's ability to venture beyond it. This condition typically occurs in regions or climates where fog, mist, smog, or other types of cloud formations significantly restrict the view of the sky and reduce natural light levels. As a result, those experiencing being "skyed in" may feel a sense of restlessness, boredom, or frustration from the inability to engage in regular outdoor pursuits or connect with nature.
The phrase can also be metaphorically applied to situations where individuals find themselves figuratively confined or restricted due to external circumstances, such as being stuck at work for an extended period or being caught in a situation with limited options for escape. In such cases, being "skyed in" suggests a feeling of confinement or being bound by circumstances beyond one's control.
