Still plenty of snow here. Hopefully see a couple of hours snowfall tonight...

I live beside a country park and went for a wee stroll. Plenty of ice on the reservoir

 

 

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Grabbed a few snaps when out and about today; fields in front of the house and up in the hills behind looking towards the Eildon Hills and also south to the Cheviots in the far distance.

Remains of some fair sized drifts at the side of the back roads.

Bonnie Scotland is a well deserved title on a day like this.

Good walk this afternoon to enjoy the snow before it disappears overnight. Forecast for here is for rain from the word go tonight. Temperature certainly dropping away though so I am not totally discounting a few flakes before the rain sets in.

[Northernlights]

Great day to be outside no wind and sunny currently -0.4c.    Put some hay out for wintering sheep so we"ll probably not get snow again this winter.    Never mind have had 3 days now with lying snow. Some photos from around the Firth mainly to the north.  

 

 

 

 

 

Last  photo shows the cliffs at Dunbeath with the background hills very white so no wonder  the A9 had problems today

Oh my lord what a perfect day!!!  There's little more than dandruff here in the Lomonds but just up the road at Dunkeld it's on another level. A few inches at road level but once you get up into the back-country towards Deuchary Hill there's a uniform six inches of resistance-free powder  The summit and its northern aspects are scoured but the southerly aspect of this modest wee lump were loaded. A joy to walk through. As others have said, Scotland was made for days like this. Get it while you can cos soon it'll be gone

My son in Innerleithen has pics of the hilltops with a good 6" of lovely snow.

Awakened from hibernation today and took myself off to one of the Angus Glens.  The snow cover here is really on higher-up locations. . Anyway came across two lovely Reds chasing around in the white stuff.

....and at one point these two slowly shunted themselves out of the way.

The Met Office radar has a band of rain heading for the Borders tonight. It's already below freezing here - so this is going to be snow is it?

Probably, to start with, assuming the upper temps stay low enough. It's kind of a lost cause though because it's going to turn to rain at some point. 

Interestingly, yesterday's BBC weather app had the temp here for Sunday maxing out at around 8C. Today it has a max of 4C for Sunday. Hoping that, and the fact we're usually slightly cooler than the forecast, might mean the 1C and rain were due overnight might just turn out to be snow. 

Some great photos from around Scotland today on here, looks like lots of us just had to get out and take advantage of the weather. Luckily for once it coincided with the weekend.

Radar suggest it is moving quickly and not breaking up. Be interesting to see what comes of t, but farmers been up and down all day spreading the fields.

[Northern Strath]

After an overnight of -6c we started the day off with a good dose of this IMG_1029.MOV which was very nice indeed (hope it works) Some sunny spells after, remained at or below freezing, wee bits of ice showing around the place and everywhere a lovely winters drive

Then the west comes to spoil all the fun!

all eyes on the snow to pish event it is then.. currently -1c

[101_North]

Expecting nothing other than rain despite the temp hovering around 0.5c. Snow to rain events from the west usually jump straight to rain here so can't see this being any different. 

Cracking cold spell LOL

Rain (might start as snow but won't last) is not too far away. Oh well about to say goodbye to this spell (could have been better but did see some of the white stuff) better than nothing I suppose

[JamesM]

Straight to rain here.

[Kayemill]

0.5 deg and raining :-(

Pretty sure it won't look like this in the morning

Cracking winter's day up East Lomond Hill today with the dog!

 

 

 

[JoeShmoe]

Started raining here ...

[Cheggers]

Straight rain here.  Not great but was nice to see snaw and got 2 days lying and kids enjoyed.

[doctormog]

The rain hasn't reached here yet but I suspect it will be wet rather than than white here.

[Benvironment]

Hardly anything falling from the sky here but what little there is.....is snow at the moment.

[101_North]

Straight to rain as suspected!

 

[NUT]

Not very much falling but it is all rain

[frogesque]

Lightest of a light smurr here but it's wet, not white. Guess that's  the cold spell over for now.
