About an inch of snaw overnight and settling readily from around midnight onwards - a good start. Regular top-ups from the heavy showers birling though. Roads not clever this morning and not helped by ****trumpets who don't moderate their speed in the midst of the temporary whiteoots. Total nuggets. Temperature currently -0.2C/-1C and the snaw's back on. Braw!

Still not snaw yet. Currently 1.2C/1C. It's a-coming though.

What absolute wibble from the MO. As oft said previously, the sooner we have a Scottish MO, the better. Amber warnings issued contemporaneously once severe conditions are already happening are basically a load of p*sh. And they have form for this up here.

Hairy Highland Coos, that suggests we could be on for over a foot of the white stuff here! Gritters out and about: check. Temperature falling: check. 2.3C Dew Point falling: check. 2C Daring to dream... Bring it!

Love this - cheers, mate. *Bank!* Snaw not here yet. Intermittent showers, snawline creeping down the hills and 4.2C currently. I sense a whumphing could be on the cards this week.

So, this is the 'mild' blip for this week? It's not exactly toasty, is it? 1.4C and dreich about covers it this morning for here. Next week's charts are looking very tasty for some more proper winter.

Overnight temperature eventually bottomed out at -10.5C. Headed out for a wee drive round and about this morning and took a few snaps. Cracking wintry day.

A touch fresh here this morning. Proper winter.

A bonnie and bright day here today. Brisk at the moment: 1.9C/1C. Bit nippy with the windchill. Had a further cauld rain to snaw event overnight into Friday. Only a covering though and melted away through the day, helped on by further cauld rain. Agree with some of the posts above re this winter so far: showing potential but not really delivering much for a lot of folk. We've done okayish here so far, but such snaw as there has been has been pretty transient stuff. Still, well over half the winter to go (plus March) so it could yet improve. Keep the faith, fellow kilters. Will take the dry and bright cauld that's on offer for the next few days gladly though. A wee bit of wintry sunshine aids the post-festive cheeriness levels. Almost time to start the haggis and drams, too.

It's trying to turn here, but on the wrong side of marginal so far. Currently 0.6C/1C, so have not given up hope of some more of the white stuff overnight yet.

Sadly, so far it's just cauld rain, washing away today's snaw cover.

Happy New Year, kilters. After an overnight frost, we then had some of the afore-mentioned sleety pish. However, a couple of hours ago, this turned to wet snaw and it's been belting down with varying degrees of intensity ever since. An unexpected wintry surprise. Currently 0.4C/1C.

5.3C and 102mm for me please.

Snaw petered out before 3pm here. Ended up with 5cm. Max of 0.2C today and currently 0.1C/0C and kinda murky. So far, a decent start to winter 2017-18. Snaps from this arvo attached.

Overnight low of -5.8C. Currently -3.4C/-6C and snowing gently. 'Mon the snaw!

Another bright and frosty day here today after a cracking winter's day yesterday. Just cauld rain for us on Christmas Day so hoping for something a bit better on Friday. Snap of Crieff at dusk on Boxing Day. Currently 1.4C/-3C.

Merry Christmas, fellow kilters. Hopefully, some of us will see some of the white stuff tomorrow!

Decent wee cold spell on the go and guaranteed to keep going as I'm out of the country this week, working in Dubai. The dusting of snow at home has lasted well. Overnight low of -8.0C and a max of -3.4C so the first ice day of the season. Already down to -6.5C according to the online weather station. Flew out from a freezing fogbound Glasvegas Airport this arvo - the white patch in the distance in this snap. Enjoy the cauld, fellow kilters!

Thank you, J10 and Roger and to all who make these monthly competitions happen. Always good fun (and interesting, too). Well done to everyone else, too. Am now off to crown myself 'King of Autumn' or suchlike. ;-)>

4.0C and 75.1mm for me please.

With the clocks going back, that's the end of my estivation. Summer felt like a bit of a non-event here in Comrie and am (ever) hopeful that the upcoming winter may produce something a bit more seasonal than the last few years. Off to a good start this morning with the first air frost of the season. Overnight low of -2.5C. Currently 4.7C, rather grey but very still.

6.7C for me please.

Poor overall. Best of the year's weather was in late April and May here - a cracking spell. Summer: wetter, duller and cooler than average. Last good summer (warm and sunny) was 2013, though 2014 had its moments, too. Hoping autumn is more benign than is currently being forecast.

11.1C for me please.

14.3C for me please.
