Snowy snow snow in Tweeddale. About 1cm! But it's a covering so a snow day. -3.5C means tenth air frost and still -2.2C at 11am. It's the kind of snow that was on the car windscreen but the wipers just immediately brushed it off to reveal a clear view - like talcum powder. Love it.

Fantastic day yesterday - max of 0.9C. View looking over toward the Tweed which runs right to left under the furthest hills and through the village of Drumelzier (hidden). -6.0C overnight so ninth air frost and still below freezing just now at 10.50am. Quite the wintry snap. Interesting to hear on the tv that the power disruption is, "three times worse than the 'Beast from the East'". Feel lucky here that our damage is limited to a 4m section of dry stoned dyke that's toppled into my garden.

Oh he's very cute. Catch the snowball! Off into the woods with Finn shortly and that face of excited concentration.

Couple of inches across Upper Tweeddale. Unexpected snow (except for those clever Norwegans) is always the best! The kitten doesn't know what to do with himself. Eighth air frost at -3.3C and currenlty -0.4C at 11am.

Similar experience here. I've turned up Judge Judy ha! I probably would be scared but it's Friday night and the ale is flowing. Burning through the coal though as the chimney emits an F# Temp 1.5°C snowing but not lying.

Wind picking up in Tweeddale and we are only on the edge of the amber/yellow wind warning being directly 30 miles due south below EDI airport together with flakes in the wind but nothing much at all yet ppn wise. Noisy trees. Naughty.

Slushy windscreen at 7.45am - result! Dusting above 400m.

Three charts for ppn/850s during Friday PM:

A low of 5.5C and currently 5.8C under what I can only imagine is otherwise termed as Aberdeenshire Permagloom™ (with apologies to @Quinachand @Sanserit). Saturday - well who knows where the ppn will fall and Sunday may be a November ice day above 300m?

Oh, and oooof...

Wonderful day yesterday - cold crispy start, sun beating down and chilly. Couple of hours of grey early afternoon, but after I finally got my act together jumped in the car and headed up to Fruid reservoir, it was sunny again and the car said 3C at 3pm. That's Finn at the remains of Hawkshaw Castle, where i Incidentally saw my first ever Golden Eagle. Wow. I know a few pairs have been released in the 'Moffat hills' in recent years - so this tallies nicely... -1.7C in the garden overnight so fifth air frost.....

Of course - we are going to get used to you popping into the local boozer now and propping up the bar in here! As a resident, welcome @Paul !

I'm wondering when we are allowed to start getting excited...?! (That'll jinx it).

Yesterday vs today (with a guest appearance by Finn). 2.7C at dawn.

Saturday night was a corker here with a very gusty wind indeed and at one stage it blew one of the guinea fowl down from the chimney top! She was not happy... Wet this afternoon and a steady rate of temp increase. Now sitting at 11.4C at 5pm.

Came across this little lot earlier. Never seen so many magic mushies in one place! 8.7°C and dry - what's not to like?!

7.4C wet morning, dry afternoon. Seasonal. Peebles:

Well what a contrast this afternoon. Lovely. Muddy.

Yesterday's walk discovered a Tweed just about managing to stay within its banks: And after an overnight low of 3.0C it's hammering down in a gusty wind once again. Staying in.

View from the garden this afternoon. That's half a mile to the established river course at the foot of the hill opposite...

SEPA have rebuilt their network and got their laptops back working then?! Good to see!

Oh my - I have never seen anything this bad before in relation to floods. Three of my four local roads are closed - cars littered around hazards flashing. In taking Finn the collie to doggy day care I encountered the main A701 and the burn had merged into a fast flowing river, driving speed at 15mph. A good 40m flood at a depth of over 0.5m on another stretch and panicked looking faces on motorists. But lorry drivers having a right laugh!! Normal journey time 14mins, today it took 32... Stay safe if you're in the zone!!

From a min of 12.0C to 13.3C currently it is a little bit mild n wet at shuggee Towers.

Second air frost here too at -0.5C. Beautiful sun all day now though and a nippy wind blowing leaves around. Lovely.

Will investigate!
