Fine sunny start to the day here too with the temp at -2.3C around 8am.

Most of any low lying snow had already melted in all but sheltered wooded areas by the time I drove home last night. This morning the hills still have a white coat but green/brown predominates elsewhere. Maybe a top-up on the local hills overnight, but going to be difficult getting up them before it thaws as it's forecast for 7C by 9am and up to 10C by midday.

After the weekend it's turning colder with a slushfest incoming for everyone except me; I'm getting another foot of snow :rofl: 

Well if your forecasting is as good as this week, we are getting buried then. :rofl:

And you can all thank me accordingly afterwards :) 

At least get the new tyre sorted so you can drive to fife for the snow.... No need to waste the time on cleaning windows and buying bread this time :D

Few heavy snow showers this morning, at -1c it wasn't as cold as forecast overnight. Inland Aberdeenshire got the low numbers with clearer skies. Might manage a few showers as the stuff from the west moves in but it'll turn to rain overnight. A grey day overall, snow cover intact but starting to look a bit sad

Got about 8-10cm in the end up, pretty good day at the office if you ask me! Could be another spell of snow next weekend...?

Hi all, ive posted a few times in here this winter as looking to move myself and the family to Scotland as really cant be dealing in these winters without snow here in England, even here in the Peak district the last few winters have been totally rubbish for anything more than a dusting thats gone 20 mins after it stops snowing, i did have a house that looked like it was good to go but sadly it didnt happen, so today i have booked a viewing on a rural 4 bed farm house in an area called Ballaterich in the Cairngorms National Park..nearest village is Ballater 4 miles away.. ive done an elevation check and 200m asl for the property postcode. travelling up Monday to view Tuesday.. anybody in here have any knowledge of this area and what do you rate my chances of seeing good snow fall during winter? thanks in advance for any info provided. also really enjoyed watching this thread during Thursdays event..

Wheres all the Snow? Looked at the Braemar snowgate web cam, No Snow. We have had some very mild sunshine down south with all the daffs out and the grass growing already, another early Spring. Coming up to Scotland in April, love your part of the world, you are very lucky to live in such a nice unspoilt part of the world. Good Health to you all.

You had me scratching my head for a bit there. Finally found Ballaterach about half way between Ballater and Dinnet  on the south side of the Dee. Decent enough place for snow I'd expect. We've had a few snowy walks around Loch Kinord near Dinnet. It's a really lovely area, snow or not. 

You'd also not be too far from Braemar either, probably one of the snowier places in Scotland, and of course Glenshee ski center is just up the road from there. 

Good luck this time.

Melted, as has been usual this winter. It's was pretty mild up here today too, didn't check exactly but into double figures I'm sure. Duvet cover hung out to dry did so in no time.

Steady  rain here not too far away from Leuchars and the wind has got up just recently so hope he got out earlier.

Heavy sleet and hail shower currently, wouldnt be surprised if we end up with more snow than Thursdays "snowstorm" but that wouldn't be difficult...

Sadly not, they arrived and got sent straight back home. Rather chilly in the strengthen wind, but at least it has stopped raining
