Stars somehow sparkling away above what seems to be very light drizzle which is adding to the layer of clear ice on every hard surface in the garden. Getting sticks from the shed was a careful affair. 

Next week still looking promising I think. 

Yes i noticed the same when taking the dug out for a pee.. clear skies could a see the stars etc.. but definitely something falling from the sky...i do think/hope we are in the sweet spot the next few weeks and we will get buried in snaw...

Stunning charts this evening... the pub run has been out on a sunday lunch special and stayed on for afters...

[Model Output Discussion - Into Winter]

I think a white Christmas was well advertised by the models a long way out for some parts of Scotland.. and i can confirm that it has indeed been snawing for a few hours here now. 

The coming few weeks looks full of promise so lets see if we can really get the long snaw filled weather we all crave.

Raining here, rain feels sleety but I suspect that's just wishful thinking. Currently fighting with the Chrismas dinner and wondering if it's too early to open the bubbly. 

Merry Christmas all, send snow pics 

Never too early... i had a beer with my breakfast ( left over cold pizza).. its Christmas, perfect excuse for day drinking...

Sleet with the odd snaw flake mixed in... cold though and wondering if the snaw will come on once darkness is here...

Happy Christmas to you all..

[Model Output Discussion - Into Winter]

Meanwhile here in  Scotland.. happy Christmas to all of you in here.. fingers and toes crossed that the models begin to firm up on a patern change over the festive period and we can all comeback for the new year with winter wonderland charts a plenty.. upgrades a plenty and now dramas about uppers..

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

SNAW YES YES YES...still falling big fat flakes... shame it will all be gone by lunchtime... butits still snaw and I will take it...

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

See i knew my app was telling porkies... its been saying snaw fornthe past 3 hours... but its raining.. 

Happy Christmas gang and see you all in 2024...

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

I think Jan 2018 was a good for cold and snaw i think...

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

Sleety pish is what i would call it... the odd big flake mixed in.. and my app is now saying 16cm overnight so now i trust it even less... i have set my alarm for 6am to check and if there be snaw on the ground im waking the kids up and going out in it, might be the only chance i get this winter...

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

My weather app has just informed me im to expect 13cm of snaw tonight and into tomorrow morning.. .. im not buying that.

Happy Christmas to everybody in here, stay safe, enjoy special times with family and friends. See you all in the new year.

Unbelievable here... the entire cold spell ive dodged the showers apart from 2 really short ones right at the start... and now i have -1c and raining.. 

Im checking out until the next cold spell looks like its coming..

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Very light snaw falling here from the smallest of showers... the North sea looks loaded... but with temps due to rise... will it be white or will it be sh1te...?? Get the feeling ice could be the biggest problem come the morning..

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Shower heading straight for my house and literally splits to go round me....

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Some heavy showers starting to move inland from the east... @edo and the Perth crew look like they could be in line for some action here too...

Same thing every year in there...i must admit i did let myself get sucked in by them this time.. that wont be happening again... well not this weekend anyways..

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Well this cold spell has been crud..2 snaw showers and everything else has gone left or right of me... and then over night everything died as soon as it got close...

Can't help but think I've upset the snaw God's somehow...

Winters over... toys and prams at the ready...

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Its like the A96 has turned into the M4 here big heavy showers dying as they hit the road... literally never seen anything like it... thats it where are the toys and the pram..

[Scotland Weather discussion]

[Scotland Weather discussion]

The odd snaw shower here today.. but the dusting we have has slowly disappeared... fingers crossed we can get some more the next few days... A very cold weekend ahead..
