well i got a decent day the last time I had to run around for appointments but unfortunately today didn't give me a repeat dose and decided to give a little payback.

 

left the house to rain which then turned to sleet then on to snow but the ground was too wet for it to settle but was enough to give some slushy mess on the ground.

 

no more snow after that just a few light showers of rain.

 

tomorrow looks interesting and I wasn't really expecting much with altitude and lets face it the snow gods just really hate Falkirk but after getting some snow out of what we saw this morning my anticipation levels for tomorrow have been raised slightly just hopefully it will snow for a time and give a covering because the models don't look too inspiring for cold and snow this morning.

Well that's one jinx lifted which has persisted since the start of December, the ex has finally given in and we're seeing the boys over this weekend Posted Image

 

Sorry I can't help anyone (me included) with their "I want six inches of snow" fix Posted Image

 

Sod that, there's more important things than snow (waits to be lynched)! Make sure the boys enjoy their weekend so that "pester power" comes into play for next time.

 

Dry cool morning here with the temperature sitting at 0C when I left the house and a slight frost on the cars/grass. Not sure what the front moving in later will bring but it certainly looked quite wintry on the BBC TV forecast this morning. When I knock off work today I'm heading to visit my parents in the central belt with the wife and youngest so my bet is that on the drive down the A90, A9 etc it'll be dark, windy and all varieties of rain, sleet and snow will be thrown at me. Just to make the drive pleasant and enjoyable of course.

Similar to an earlier question so apologies but .... anyone know of anywhere in the Glenshee area to sledge that's not the ski centre? I suspect it might be busy tomorrow and want somewhere quiet for a 5 and 2 year old to get an hours sledging in. Anywhere between Blairgowrie and Braemar would be great.

There is a big hill next to the Spittal Hotel. However I doubt the roads will be open tomorrow. Sunday is your best bet. If going up the hill drive past the ski centre and stop just after there are easily accessable slopes there.

Perfect. Thanks. I'll check the road situation in the morning but Sunday is fine. Given the forecast I'm hoping that we won't have far to drive.

There is a briliant hill just outside Blairgowrie. We got stuck in snow and ended up sledging there!

When I was a Glenshee last Sunday the snow level wasn't much lower than the car parks at the centre. Currently the webcam is a bit 'misty' but earlier it looked like there was now more snow lower down than there was a few days ago. If you do need the height then I wouldn't worry too much. As long as you can get parked at the ski centre then there's load of areas away from skiers/boarders you can sledge on and I've seen plenty of people do it.

Talking of BBC forecasts - has anyone noticed that since being promoted to National forecasting, Stav has turned "more English" ?

 

He was always a lucky charm up here for cold, and it's not gone unnoticed that since he left, we've not had much in the way of cold.

 

COME BACK STAV !!!

Yep i think at the moment there is nae chance of snow under 500ft. Far too warm. Shoot me down if I am wrong though!

Feeling much colder now than it did a couple of hours ago in Edinburgh. Still don't think there will be any snow here or back home in Grangemouth although the forecasts this morning did look a little bit better for today than they did last night.

Seems to be rain in N Eire and high temps. We will just have to hope the temp drops with front coming in. The wind is cold but the ambient temp is about 5c!

A lot of red appearing on radar in Ireland but no reports in their thread so assume that is higher ground..... as said above too warm here but thats not to say the cold air wont flood in quickly... it did feel warm the other day but soon turned chilly as the front arrived and snowed..... this winter though I know what my money would be on
