shuggee

1.2C and snow on here, although everything is so wet. I even have a wet foot after leaky trainers became apparent walking up Leith Walk earlier in monsoon rain. Miserable!

Snow here as well, blowing around and more snow grains than fluffy... 0.3°C. Looks like dandruff on your favourite dark jacket.

Ended up 7cm here, after those beefy showers overnight from the east. Was realy weird watching the radar as the showers zipped from right to left, but the front ppn from the south west stayed static, not sure I've seen that before. Anyway, my 18th snow day of the season and 31st air frost at -1.7C.

Who was it who said - "I'm out of the warning area now so expecting bizzards?" You couldn't make it up: Makes for a happy shuggee though! Pelting down at -0.8C.

Loving reading the snow and cold reports. My only report is cold overnight frosts and a tumble dryer of sporadic bobbles of polystyrene for an hour this afternoon. Luckily been too busy to care - but a poor potential snowy spell for Tweeddale so far.

Hmmm. Should I stick or twist?

Taking a break this week, so went to Gullane beach for a long dog walk today instead of the usual Borders forests and hills. It was brisk! 4C and windy. Rain showers around but thankfully missed my two hour wander.

27th air frost at -2.4C - the first for 18 days. In the deep mid-winter....

Sunny here too this afternoon! We both remarked on it at lunchtime. 5C.

I make that a 1096 high over Greenland.

Saving you from charts like this @Mair Snaw! Sorry - couldnae resist teasing (?) the northerners and north-esaterners.... Tonight's GFS 12Z T+204

Interesting reading about our north easter cousins' spring conditions - the temperature hasn't breached double figures yet for me this year (although 3 Jan was 9.9C). Couple of photos from the weekend - but as @Ross Bsays, this February is one hell of a yawn fest.

Dam - forgot to go look for the comet last night with the sparkling clear skies. Overnight was my 26th air forst of the season at -1.3C. Here's yesteday's dog walk - Neidpath (a regular haunt of mine, just lovely).

What a cracker. Had to leave home at dawn (-2.6°C) with 4cm on the car and the world all white. Drove into Edinburgh, taking it easy on side roads, not least because the snow hides the bloody pot holes! Temp at home continued to fall at -3.9°C. Weirdly, more snow at Fairmilehead than West Linton. Snow in shade hanging on in Leith/Pilton mid afternoon. So that's nineteenth air frost and thirteenth snow day of the season. More!!

Snowline here varying considerably in short distances, between 200m and 350m. Here's the afternoon dog walk in the local woods illustrating where the heaviest ppn must have been overnight resulting in cover whilst round the corner at the same elevation there's nothing...

1.6°C and it's hammering down with big wet gloopy snow. House has been shaking in the wind and that constant roar of wind and heavy sleet! Have set up a torch with focused beam across the front of the front room windows to watch the snow. Working fine and other half thinks I've lost it.

A gale all afternoon, frequently pishy sleety rain. Now temp falling and heavy ppn is on. HOWEVER I'm distraught because the outside light (to watch said sleet turn to snow) bulb has gone and a new one doesn't arrive until tomorrow!! ARGGGHHHHH

Few from the GFS this morning - 850s and ppn:

+WANT+ Got wet out earlier. Looks like a week of 2-5°C rain and wind up coming. Not inspiring.

Happy New Year my fellow weather freakoids. Nothing to note here other than a bright green morning. Sometimes those yellow warnings mean zip...

Wet rain (!) and big blobs of snowy sleet at 1.7C. Going to be interesting by the bells! And here's the weir at Peebles this afternoon. Mental amount of water going over fast. Didn't bother the heron relaxing at the side though. He's cool.

The course of the Tweed is normally a sliver of silver against the far hill (to the right looking north under the blue sky, or in the far distance under the grey cloud). But today she's a half mile wide fast flowing torrent. Noisy and quite the sight: Usually happens two or three times a year... Another impact is that the M74's displaced traffic Is taking the A701 and it's unusually busy as a result. Not helped by the earlier flooding that's washed away half of the road just before Broughton village turning it into a single carriage way road. Marvellous.

It's been a while since there was such a wild, wet and windy night. Woken by lashing rain and strong gusts at 4am and twice more again. Bedroom faces south... The result is an entirely flooded Tweed Valley - half a mile across of flowing water, more of an estuary than a river. Not sure how it's going downstream at Dawyck or Peebles... Then it looks like a few cold, potentially snowy days even this far south. Turning out to be an interesting winter!

Has hovered around 5°C all day and this shot sums up the day's weather. Preferred last nights GFS pub run for here!

200m ASL in the valley, 450m at the top - yesterday's snow line: Today in the woods at 300m:
