Cool, calm, and a heavy grey sky this morning.  Looking to the north we can see the dark horizon - that's coming our way today.

After a quiet (boring) couple of days, the snow flakes in the forecast are welcome. -3c this morn and awaiting the northerly winds. My lady is on Skye and is reporting the Cuillins have their first covering of snow

So that's me now out of my summer hibernation! 

 

And Jaysus tap-dancing Chr*st - they've started early this year in the model output thread! Gone from 'nothing much to report' to a 'repeat of 2010' before finally opting for 'winter's over' in the space of 24 hours. And it's a month until winter even begins! 

 

Think I'll be spending most of my time in this thread for the coming winter!

It's a hoot.

After a slack and increasingly wet morning, a front has passed and the wind suddenly switched to a fresh north-easterly in the last hour, with squally showers lining up in the firth.  The sea's gone from barely more than oily to having its white horses whipped off.  Wave-top action, if you like.

We now have the strong NE wind howling round the house a sound I have not heard for a few winters a sign of things to come ? Currently dry overcast and 6c The wind has resulted in a massive leaf fall tonight so the trees are gong to look very wintry  tomorrow.

Howling wind and heavy hailstones on my wee bit of the coast.  Last hail shower was so heavy it turned the grass white in seconds:cold:

Hills to the north are protcting us from most of the showers so it is drying up but the strong wind and temperature of 3c is making it feel very cold. Can see a dusting of  snow down to 1000 feet on hills to north

Howling in off the firth this morning - already had bin lid action (litter sprayed all across the street this morning), don't think there are many trampolines near here.  Keeping an eye on the Heras...

I didn't even need to get out of bed to know what the weather was like . Sounded like winter with heavy rain showers battering off the windows in a blustery wind.

Chilly but absolutely beautiful here in Falkirk, blue sky, crisp air, itching to get out for a walk.

Had a light snow shower early this morning, after that it was a bit of everything rain, hail, sleet, wet snow, chihuahuas, old boots, haggis, you bloomin name it. Expecting things to be more solidly snow as the winds pick up later and the temps drop
