  1. Heavy snow about 30mins ago, progressively lighter and trailing edge of blue sky coming into view. Nice to have flakes instead of hail / graupel for the first time this winter. Feels a bit more wintry.
  2. Is it time to wake up again? Gone south from Stirling - joys of the being the mobile flexable workforce - but I can still see Scotland from here. The view is good and snowy over on the hills from Wigton Bay up and through the Galloway forest. Further east Criffel is bare and out west the Isle of Man looked white so I'm assuming it was on the same track as the Galloway snow. Havent braved the model forum yet or the quest for Cheshire low snow that is the NW thread. Thought I'd start easy - wasn't it a cracking summer, think I got one of the best 12 months weather for a while.
  3. More cloudy day here, even tried to rain - a whole three spots. Trying to remember when I last experienced a long dry spell in July.
  4. It's taken a year but enjoying summer turning up - the over night move to 'cooler' conditions still delivered 26degC by 10:00 and currently 28degC. Measured with the silva windwatch so not bang on but it's usually very close to.
  5. Today summer was first light to about mid moring - all building up now, hopefully get something.
  6. Enjoyed yesterdays installment of summer, the trails round Aberfoyle were tacky rather than sloppy. Unfortunately back to grey and wet here too. Monday seems promising though.
  7. Snow down to around the 400m mark here - Ben Gullipen just dusted, cover on the top of Stronend, Ben Venue and the broad ridge back to Aberfoyle has a covering. Seven months since I've seen my first - none webcam - snowfall of winter and it's still going.
  8. Lovely day here, t-shirt weather and everything has just gone new growth crazy. Carse looking green rather than brown. Lots of busting buds over near Port of Mentieth. I see Nevis Range have called it a day, no fighting that drenching and Lecht may finish on Sunday. Glenshee, Cairngorm and Glencoe all looking good.
  9. They wouldnt stand a chance against the might of the midge. Infact maybe that's it the midge is actually some ancient Celtic force to keep biblical plagues at bay.
  10. Another wet day, currently very windy here. Endrick was close to bursting at Drymen when I went past late afternoon. Good four or five feet above what it had been mid morning. Looked like snow was down to around 600-700m on the Arrochar Alps - spotted through a brief gap in the cloud but not sure if it had turned later. Cloud cover far to far down to see.
  11. Snow dirfts to sand drifts is right, maybe a need for more hedges to get the sand to drift in behind them?
  12. I was thinking more summer, pools of standing water in the fields today. Would say like winter hadn't happened but yesterday was the first day I've felt real warmth outside since... I couldnt actually remember its been that long. Sometime last year though. Now six months since I saw my first hill snow and five and a half since first winter mountain walk.
  13. You can almost hear things growing, even managed warm and sunny interlude early afternoon. Blowing a bit now, quite a lot of water in the Forth, lucky it stopped raining or Aberfoyle would be in for another drenching.
