Murky day today, but had a cracking sunset this afternoon which makes up for the fact my whole house is now in isolation until the 26th.

I predicted a busy night on Friday, and it was, my crew and I were completely burst come Saturday morning at change over.

Could be an interesting nightshift at Kirkcaldy fire Station for me.

Looking forward to the clock change now, the mornings have gone from "ideal light" to "depressingly dark" very quickly.

Its horrible, I do like the darker evenings but the mornings can be hard for the body to get going. thankfully my job at least gets me out and about during the day so I at least get to see some daylight.

I pity folk during these months that are stuck in doors and travel to and from work in the dark, not really seeing daylight at all.

First frost on my car this morning, caught me out.

Every year, around this time, I look at the snow coverage charts here, and dream of a cold snowy winter to come, with angel-dust in the air, Ipswich challenging at the top end of the table and wondering whether it will be Barbara Dickson or Elaine Paige on the Two Ronnies' Christmas Special. 

Today I spotted some snow in Russia, Alaska and Canada....here we go!

I hope we have a hot spell in September. We usually get one on the back of a poor summer.

Me too its when I like to get the garden cut back for winter and paint my sheds.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

I still think we will have some nice enjoyable weather, September is usually a settled month. The lack of daylight in the evening isn’t a big concern to me. 

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Noticing it now TBH, there's a difference to the light around 9pm and I've noticed a couple of lights on in my neighbour houses now.

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

About 30-40mm already.

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

Snowing heavily in Glenrothes right now. 

[Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards]

Slushy mixture at the moment. 1c and holding.

Love this thread every year, the countdown begins.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Its not as bright the last few mornings at 0530, because of the heavy rain at times it seems like its getting darker earlier in the evening. I cant believe that I started this post 7 years ago and its still going!

[Scotland /Alba weather discussion 2020]

Just had a heavy snow shower, seems the temp has dropped a fair bit.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Really noticing the nights drawing in now, the cloud cover at the moment means its darker earlier than should be.

Took a while to get home from Lochgelly, got stuck passing a car, got out fine in the monster truck now home.

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion - 16/01/2018 Onwards]

Lochgelly..... drifting snow. We are now stuck at the station, dayshift struggling to get in.

[Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion - 16/01/2018 Onwards]

Took the boy to school this morning nice dusting here at 0630, I'm a Firefighter up at Lochgelly, and as you may know the highest town in Fife. I'm night shift tonight so I put money on it being busy. It amazes me how bad some folk drive in this weather.
