  1. It started settling here while the temperature was below 1C, but now up to 1.9C and the snow line is retreating upwards.
  2. Dew point currently 1C here……but the temperature has climbed from 1.3C to 2.2C in the last hour. It’s ‘orrible out there!
  3. Certainly a noisy night here in Fife, although that can as much be because of the wind direction as the wind speed. Topped out at 56mph. My weather station at Mar Lodge similar at 57mph.
  4. 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
  5. 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…..
  6. Braemar at lunchtime. It was already -7C at 4pm! Bit ‘warmer’ here now than in the village proper, at -10.8C.
  7. Assuming it was the same ones, they photobombed me at about 2pm. Two of them flew up the Slugain from Braemar and then did a steep climb into the cloud.
  8. A very wet 1cm here, which took all evening to accumulate in steady dandruflurries. 0.5C and hasn’t been below freezing since Sunday night.
  9. 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…..
  10. View from home this morning Light snow down to around 780m above Glen Clunie. Lower please!
  11. It’s been an undeniably beautiful day here but freakishly mild, which felt even warmer given the absence of wind. Temp fell away after dark in that calmness but we’ve just gone from 3.6C to 10.6C in the space of 40 minutes!
  12. 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!
  13. <stretches> <yawns> <blinks> AHA! Tantalising view up the glen on patrol this evening
