Oh man, just realised that forecast was for Lauder! 

Cannae believe it; up here in Carrbridge and the white crimbo is set for Lauder.

Still, Tuesday and Wednesday hold promise for this neck of the woods.

[mardatha]

Then I might get some snaw as well then!

Enjoy your day folks! Happy Christmas

Well, hee haw forecast here in the way of white stuff, which comes as no surprise. Do I care? Not a jot! Joint cooked, all food prepped for ramorra, wine chosen, and all I have to do is bring it all together in one fell swoop. Piece o' p*sh. May your bellies and glasses be full over the festive period, may you get SNOW, and may you all have the best of times. See you on Boxing Day!

Merry Christmas from a wet Falkirk. Kids tried to wake us up at 4.30 but we managed to squeeze an extra two hours in bed. 

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Merry Xmas all. Hope santa has been good to everyone.

Seems he might have a special present for me in the end!

Anybody see the Nacreous clouds on Saturday, didn’t get a picture because I was working, just saw them out the window

Well it's starting to look promising for some. I have to drive from shotts down to peebles tonight, heading through Forth and carnwath and down through elsrickle as it's the quickest way, just hoping the ST doesn't let me down with it's clumsy feet.

Weather here in NI is awful. Lashing rain and fairly mild! Looking at the forecast for home and thinking I must have been a naughty boy!! This has the potential to be a meteorological sack of coal

Thankfulky I'll eat too much, drink too much and forget all about it LOL

Hope you are all having a great day
