Ugh, really could do without that Fife is a saturated sponge just now, water still pouring over the roads…..which made the road up from Falkland this morning the worst I have ever seen it. Usually there’s SOME bare tarmac to cling to but it was just ice from top to bottom! Car said -10C at Pitagowan this morning, although it was considerably milder by the time I’d inched my way over to Kinloch Rannoch. Nice to see so many folk getting out on the hills today. One of those ‘grab it while you can’ days

Just beautiful!! Always worth getting up high with a full view of the horizon before and after sunset. Folk tend to use ‘alpenglow’ to refer exclusively to the pink colour that comes when the rising/setting sun shines direct onto the surface, but it’s also used to refer to the effect similar to what you’ve posted….when you get those beautiful hues on the horizon opposite to the sun This was here at Mar Lodge after sunset…but looking north. Meanwhile…..

High of 1.8C today, and stayed below freezing till about 1pm. A week ago it was T shirt weather at 800m. Today, not so much! Felt great to be properly cold, walking over frozen mud, but as others have said, given the saturated ground there was a lethal glaze on many paths. Enjoy it while it lasts…..

Came on here to check out how other folk are taking the mildness and find solidarity and you haven’t disappointed ‘Ridiculous’, ‘stupidly mild’ etc. It was 17 C when I was walking down Kirkcaldy prom this morning, warmer than it was when I walked that stretch of the coastal path on a gorgeous calm sunny day in September! Up here in the Lomonds it topped out at 14.1C this morning, which is 0.8C higher than my previous November record of 13.4C, recorded in both 2020 and 2021. Dandelions, knapweed, oxeye daisies blooming at 900ft. Picked three ticks off myself yesterday. Grass putting on growth. This new normal SUCKS!
