Whiteout at the daylodge on Cairngorm (655m) and up by the Ptarmigan bowl. Seems as though there is a good few inches now and conditions appear to be worsening. I can just make out what appears to be a wedge cut out of the snow up by the Ptarmigan, and the depth appears to be substantial, although scale is hard to work out from here.

According to Yahoo! Weather it is currently sleeting in Newcastle, and snowing (yes, SNOWING!) in Edinburgh.

I can confirm the validity of the sleet report in Newcastle, as here it is currently sleeting and the temperature is 3C. The wind has picked up, indicating the onset of colder weather.

Very heavy hail shower happening here, i can see it collecting on some pavement!!

The ground is white here after 10 minutes of very heavy hail and sleet.
