  1. Cool breezy day but with some sunshine not much drying up Cawdor hills white this morning down to just under under a 1000feet
  2. Better start to the day with a bit of sun and 3c. Yesterday was very bad with soaking very cold conditions and dampness everywhere. Fields waterlogged again.
  3. Cool end to the around 5.00pm there still a few wintry showers over the Firth Had a number of showers in the ⁹morning consisting of large wet snowflakes not typical of spring when grauple is more likely or dry snow. Currently clear at 3c
  4. A wet dusting of snow this morning at 1c above 150 feet .Below us on the A96 there is nothing.
  5. High wind chill all day here with brief sharp showers obviously falling as snow above 1000 feet as some very strong arctic colours in the shower clouds as they moved over the Cairngorms to the south. Not a day for standing around. Should have posted this yesterday. Totally different today no wind some long sunny spells and just a few light showers. Got a few outside jobs done including taking down electric fence in neeps as last row finished. Fine when the sun was out but mid afternoon we picked up a light NE wind off the Firth with a chill in it after the NW wind of yesterday. So the pattern was changing today. Lots of geese stocking up on half decent fields of winter wheat and barley They will be here a while yet if this NE wind persists. Currently 5c
  6. Made it to 17c yesterday with strong wind blowing sandy topsoil across the A96 east of Elgin . Much colder start to today at 2c with just as strong wind with some sharp blustery showers. Dusting of snow down to 1000feet on surrounding hills
  7. First 15c day of 2024 Cats outside in sun traps loving it .Even Mrs Northernlights is gardening. Ground very wet though from last nights rain. Strong SW wind and sunny.
  8. After a week or so of drying winds resulting in some of the low ground sandy fields on the way to Inverness blowing across the A96 we have a soaking wet morning Made a lot of progress in fields clearing stones off spring barley ground, Cold again with a NE wind and currently 5.5c
  9. Back to dreich cold windy weather today currently 4.5c. Was 2c this morning going through to Thainstone at the Glens of Foundland with some neep crops that looked as though they had been severely frosted in the winter completely brown.
  10. damianslaw In my 5 decades of farming March has aways been the hungriest month of the year for the animals on the farm. To me up here it has always been a winter month much more so than December (2010 excepted) sea temperatures are at their lowest, proximity to the arctic with more frequent north and east winds less modification. My birthday in early April has seen a lot of falling snow settling well overnight.. My mother who moved up here in the early sixties was a Londoner who used to say" spring doesn"t happen in Scotland summer arrives on the first of June" with the exception of the first of June 1975 Right up to midsummers day these north and east winds can bring fresh snow to the mountain tops. Because of the strength of light we can get some really arctic skies until late June especially in the evenings
  11. Fine bright day but with a cold SE wind. Things steadily drying up .Young Mr Northernlights getting a few stones off. Countryside living up to my assertion that March is the hungriest month of the year looking absolutely washed out. Currently 6c
  12. Very wet morning taking ground conditions to square one Snow down to about 750 feet as we delivered hay inland.. Brighter afternoon but cool currently 2c with clear intervals.
  13. Very windy day with a rotten old ash tree felled by the wind. But its been the first really drying day so far this year with the ground surface becoming dusty in some areas a magnificent sight. Cool all day and temperature on the way down currently 2c
