DR(S)NO

A wee bit blown out there this morning ... a few photos from last night before the storm blew in

Right, I don’t want to cause any alarm so early on a Monday Morning BUT............. Weve has a theft!!! Some sneaky so and so has sneaked around overnight and pinched all my snow... Booo..... if it hadn’t been for Mr Snowman( who looking decidedly worse for wear) you wouldn’t know what a great day yesterday was.... Still, there’s always the memories

Well today was cracking and especially wonderful for me. Yound Dr(s) No got to go out and play in the snow for his first time. Exciting for any child( and the big ones too!) but really exciting for him. 8 1/2 yrs old and his first time. Any other snow opportunity has seen him attached to his pumps, unwell or just not mobile enough to manage but TODAY was perfect.... last long enough, was crisp enough and was deep enough to donall the snowy things you should do through your childhood! He May only have lasted only 20 minutes or so but it was a joy to behold and his wee face will stay with his old dad forever. ‘mon the weans!!!

Proper snow peeps and a chance to get out a chuck a few snowballs... sadly lacking these Winters!! And a few pics.....

From nothing to this in 30 mins....nice... shame it won’t last Im sure we’ll see more before Winter is out though

I don’t wish to ramp up the expectations here.. But, the sky just went all dark there and we had a rather heavy shower of wet snow down here in Helensburgh. This had resulted in a whopping 1 mm of slush on the cars!!! The excitement is there for all to see.... the joys of living down at the coast!!

I know weather such as this can be very dangerous ..... extreme but fascinating, would love to experience it!! http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/03/us/applenews-weather-bomb-cyclone/index.html

Hello Folks Happy New Year to all on Netweather... posters and lurkers alike. I love the weather, in fact, everything about the weather It provides me a wee release from the pressures of everyday life. At this time of year especially, please enjoy and appreciate the more important things in life ... those that are important to you... the weather will always be there no matter what. Best Wishes Folks And HNY

Do you know what? Im actually rather impressed with Winter so far. Following a very seasonal Autumn and a decent number of November frosts. Checking records...So far in December I’ve had 19 nights of frost... so most windscreen scraping for years! Lowest night temp was -8c and lowest daytime -2c Not bad for a town next to the water And now we’ve had a fabby fall of snow... bloomin brilliant! So, all things considered, an impressive start to Winter 17/18.... and some interesting signs that we could well see some more cold weather in January.... next weekend starting to look good although early days..

Stay safe Tim... some real bad weather your way. Anyhow just for reference Here’s a gritter And this is a fritter.....Tasty but not much use in a blizzard

Helensburgh... Doon the watter Now 4-5 inches , nice to see, pain in the posterior to travel in.. pretty much eased off now though. Looks nice though and hopefully not the only decent fall this Winter.

ive a feeling there’s going to be some cracking pictures later on from some folk. Typically young Dr(s)No has hospital today so no enjoying it which is a shame. Still snowing atm...

Moderate snow Helensburgh area... everything nice n white the noo!

5c and 100mm thank you please

I’m sure it won’t happen...But.....my weather app has just changed to show this..... It couldn’t .... could it?

As long as we don’t have too much of that warm snow rubbish!

Tomorrow night is looking like the coldest night for a long while in Scotland with some widespread severe frost ( following an ice day in many places ) ...could somewhere get down to -15c? Not too shabby for December and certainly it’s been a much more seasonal end to Autumn and beginning of Winter..

5.5c and 110.1mm please December... Coldish start, mild middle and brr at the end.....

Carinthian, cannot actually tell you how jealous i am of your picture! if I could get that just once this Winter... I'd be a happy man

Jealous much Carinthian https://goo.gl/images/AH1Prq

6c please..... It's definetely gonna be colder than average... Brrr

Early days still but Arpege has gusts of 112 mph+ early Monday south of Ireland...... Gonna be pretty breezy Irish Sea later in the day.... Interesting times ...

.....and that line there Frosty sums up how the whole of Summer was for my neck of the woods...

10.5c please
