Met Office have upgraded the temps for here the next couple of nights now going for -13°C. Heck not experienced that since February 2021.
-
Hellfire it’s plummeting out there tonight, already -5.8°C. Met office forecasting a low of -4°C tonight so that’s already gone to pot.
-
Been to Cairn Hotel few years back when I met up with me pal Lee from Highland Weather. I actually called into Carrbridge today on way back while bairn wer napping to take a photo of his house as he’s currently in Australia and not back till this Saturday.
-
Another snow showing nipping through Dalwhinnie. Looks like plenty more snow chances over the coming days. Currently -3.2°C with a dew of -6.0°C
-
Nice trip up to Loch Morlich wi bairn this aft, first time seeing it frozen and little un enjoyed the heard of ducks. Copped a nice shower on way home turns out the Monadhliath Mountains allowed a couple of showers across on VIP pass, another cm or 2 back in the village. Todays max was -1.9°C and already down at -3.0°C
-
Morning from Dalwhinnie. A low of -4.6°C overnight, currently -4.1°C with a dew point of -8.1°C. All quiet at the moment mountains doing their job blocking any showers. Heading to Aviemore area today maybe a walk near Loch Morlich from Glenmore.

I’ve been coming to Scotland on and off in winter since 2013 but never had a proper snowy week, had the odd bit here n there but this week I’ve hit the jackpot. I’m quite lucky that where I live and work in North Yorkshire I see quite a lot of snow every winter but true winter conditions in the Highlands has always been the holy grail for me.
-
I am indeed mate it’s absolutely sharting it down out there now. Just realised if I ran outside I set the security light off so I can watch it snaw.
-
Shower actually seems to of pepped up significantly since crossing the mountains. Footprints in front garden nearly covered now.
-
IMG_7652.mov A light shower has made it across.
-
Just been out for a drive to Newtonmore as only gone and bloody forgot toothpaste. Some light flurries kicking about but mainly dry and cloudy. Back in Dalwhinnie it’s -1.3°C with a dew of -5.0°C, few showers about but not sure they will make it over the Monadhliath mountains before fizzling out. Fire is roaring, cans of Stella are flowing and feet up watching the Masters snooker, cracking start to holiday.

Bit of a bodge job as don’t think the cottage owners would have appreciated me drilling a bracket into their swing so cable ties it is. All up and running on weather underground here’s the link. Oops! There's been an error | Weather Underground WWW.WUNDERGROUND.COM

Hellish fresh in Dalwhinnie. Arrived at the house, car unpacked and fire lit, next job is to set the weather station up.
-
5 and half hours drive and I’ve arrived in Dalwhinnie. Car says -1.5°C and there’s a fresh dusting of snow. Met office have a snow warning out for every day this week here, let the fun begin.
-
A quick look at the shower distribution over the next 24 hours. Looks like streamers setting up and they moving around a bit, NMM model does show them making good progress inland so will be interesting to see how it plays out.
-
As Sunday and Saturday are travelling days for me I thought I’d see the latest forecast for the 5 full days I have whilst in Dalwhinnie. Pleased to see the -12°C is back on the cards, although looks like finally getting above freezing on Friday…. That’s a light jumper weather in North Yorkshire
-
Yes it had moved further north compared to recent runs. Worth noting there is also an area of low pressure off the NE coast at 96 hours. Possible polar low with such cold air and low thicknesses?
-
ECM has the small area of low pressure moving through the central belt on Tuesday. Some places could see a fair dumping if the track stays the same.
-
Yes just saw that. Here’s the GIF
-
Indeed. -13 850hpa temps lingering off the North coast. Really is going to feel Baltic.
-
I think the one of the issues for low minimas this week is the wind doesn’t look like it will let up. Ideally you’d want light winds under slack flow with snow cover on ground which doesn’t look likely as it stands.
-
Yes Dalwhinnie now showing -9 instead of -12c. Almost cancelled the holiday when I saw that! The snow symbols always seem to become less and less. Thankfully the computer generated apps are useless in a convective flow from experience from back home with snow showers moving off the North Sea.
-
Further to my above post the 6z NMM is out and shows a similar track to the 0z. Possibly too far south for me in Dalwhinnie but could go either way. Worth noting that the UKM model has this feature quite a bit further south in northern England.
-
Re Tuesday feature it’s now within the range of some of the Hi Res models. The NMM 0.05° goes out to 72 hours so just about picking up on precip for Tuesday. The 6z is due out shortly so will see if any north/south adjustments are made. The NMM also has the 2k resolution model which goes to 36 hours and you can zoom right into Scotland. At 32 hours you can see the convective streams of showers for tomorrow afternoon across northern areas.
