Another fabulous winters day  with long sunny periods and a frost lying in the shade all day.      Wintry showers on all horizons glowing pink at sunset. My favourite weather at this time of year currently 0.5c

Had to head up towards Lochinver earlier, wasn't a chore, at or below zero most of the way inland, topped out at 3c for some of the coastal stuff. Pity Suilven was obscured but plenty to repeatedly have me jumping out the car with the dreaded phone camera to my passenger's delight.. Cold and crisp back here and -2c

Glorious day here and very pleasant to be out in. There was a chill but not really feeling cold as such. I can't say what the temp topped out at, really need to get some sort of shield in front of my weather station so that it doesn't read high in the sun. Probably 4 C or so if the temp gauge on my car was anything to go by around midday. I do know that the temp has already dropped back to -3.8C so it's likely to be another cold frosty one.

Just been outside and the sparkle on the frozen grass where it has lain in the shade all day is very  intense  in spite of it being only 0c. The ground must be a lot colder to give this sparkle. Struck me too tonight that the ground is freezing up sooner than in 2010!!!!

indeed when/if the snow comes along at some point the soil temps should be nice and low...just been to the christmas lights switch on and it was 0c but strangely felt far chillier...hands got very cold when taking the gloves off....models pointing towards a spell of similar weather but as ravelin says not nailed on as we could end up dreich....hopefully will be exactly like now and then maybe early December the snow arrives although part of me dreams of no snow until xmas eve and then a massive dump comes along....we can but dream...

I like the frost daddy said the 6 year old today but I wish it would snow.... patience little one....you will need it living in Scotland

Well that's the last 2 nights min temp at least matched as the weather station is reading -5.7C again. Let's see how low it can go (and if it sticks at -5.7 I'll start to get suspicious).

Morning, only hovering around freezing here, but Loch Glascarnoch was at a chilly -8.7c at 6am on the hourly readings. Potentially colder still tonight.

A scant -2C right by the water by Buckie just now, and -5C in Keith apparently. @Harve - looks like Tuesday before it gets a bit milder for us, I'm just glad we're avoiding that muck they're getting darn sarf.

@Northern Strath - don't think I've seen Loch Drum frozen over in November before, that's quite a sight so early, and excellent pictures!

And after 8 o'clock, beautiful peachy coloured snowy hills glowing on the north of the firth - looks good from here, must be better for @Northernlights.

Grass white with frost and crunchy. The dog looked a bit mystified and went back to bed. Don't blame him!

Aberdeen airport reporting CAVOK & -7.

I'm reporting -7.7C at 8am and an overnight low of -8.1C. That is cold, and probably the lowest we've seen for a long time.

Cheers @Hairy Celt  :) the scenery does all the work. Aye was thinking the same myself and snow on top of it no less

Similar to Rav, was posting -8.2c here at the house at 8am, don't have the overnight I'm afraid. Carrbridge was at -9c 8am. Think our coldest for the last two winters was -8c so certainly shaping up well this year

Yes a fabulous start to the day with very wintry views and real arctic coloured skies. Looking across the Firth can"t help but remember 2009-10 when these sort of views and skies went on for days. Currently   -4c.  Only thing thats missing at our height is deep snow.

  Bare  ground is now freezing to a few inches quite rare for November.Still a few neeps to lift but at least the very strong leaves are being burnt off by the frost making them easier to lift. Still 0c at Midday.

Lovely crisp, frosty morning here in Balmedie.  -1 was the lowest I saw it go before heading to my nest.  Love these types of days.  Just trying to pursuade the kids to join me for a walk down to the beach.  ( fat chance )

So I didn't come back and report after my last post. We reached an overnight low of -3.7 on that day (24 hour AVG of -0.1 Friday).

Yesterday we ended the day with a 24 hour AVG of -0.6!

The overnight low was -5.5 which means we have beaten the records set (at this station) for 2007 and 2009 - 2015.

The only colder November temperature is 2008 which is -6.9

The current 24 hour AVG is sitting at -2.5 with more than half the day gone, it's likely to end up below yesterdays -0.6.

As for mist some people have mentioned - around 3am we had freezing fog here....

A sunny day, but penetrating cold. It has been sub - zero all day here.

Just had doggie out for her last walk and noted these odd ,cumulonimbus?, clouds again in an otherwise clear sky.  A bit of a guess, but I think they are hanging around the North Sea in the Aberdeen/Stonehaven/Inverbervie area.
