    I was up in Wanlockhead this evening to do some measuring up for a job, and I called in to the Hopetoun Arms at Leadhills to say hello on my way back out. There's a lot of snow, maybe 30-40 cm level on average, and most lay-bys are unusable so if you want to park, best carry your own shovel to dig a spot. The roads are clear enough just now, but were intermittently white with fresh snow tonight and there's quite a lot  of ploughings scattered about so wouldn't recommend driving them with a vehicle with low-profile tyres. Met up with a pal to had a wee headtorch ski on the hill to the north (Broad Law) of the road from Leadhills down to Elavnfoot, and lovely powder it was too :) ...

    Thanks for the information! Looks like there is a lot more to come. I wonder what the final depths will be.

    The guy who installed that webcam posts on here (moffatross?) - I believe he is involved with the Lowther Hills ski club, which should get some action at the weekend.  The two villages in the area (Leadhills and Wanlockhead) only have a population of a few hundred each.  Was up there in December and it was difficult to park the car because all the lay-bys  and parking spaces were full of snow, but there is definitely a fair bit more now than the pre-Christmas snow.

    Ah, cool. I've been to Wanlockhead a couple of times as a scenic stop off on my way to The Highlands. Us lot down in North West England are having to live vicariously at the moment - we've had nothing but sleet, rain, and hail from this current spell.
