Colder than forecast at -4c. Frosty. Should be a nice sunny winter's day with the potential for an ice day!

Something odd going on there then 101 north, as it's normally colder here and it's currently minus 2.

Sunny start to the day at -4c with low humidity air combining to dry up the mud.and cattle much dryer in the folds.Long may it continue.

Just had a row in the street with some idiot who was driving down the road at about 5mph, with a fully frosted windscreen and veering all over the road! Absolute moron! I was about to pull out of the drive and watched him almost mount the pavement opposite. He stopped when I blasted the horn. There were pedestrians nearby! He's aware of my feelings :nonono:

Nearly as bad as the morons who refuse to clear the snow off their roof before setting off, really dangerous on motorways.

Don’t need to go that far mate there’s snow from Dunkeld up through Aberfeldy! (Or at least there was yesterday and I assume it hasn’t melted) :D

Not a bad morning above Pitlochry!

Clearly my car is a poorly calibrated thermometer but my nose, fingers and beard can all confirm it was very a tad colder than usual in Amulree this morning :)

Minus 5 here in Falkirk at 7.00pm according to Mr Snowidea and the car temp gauge. 

Kids back to school tomorrow and I'm back to work (sob) so I'll be frantically scraping the car windscreen  while yelling "shoes, hats, bags and for God's sakes where are your socks"  etc at the horrors. Then I'll fail to be able to open the frozen rear doors so the kids will have to climb in via the front, probably managing to stand on my sandwiches when they do. We'll miss the school bus, I'll drop them at school, battle my way through the grumpy Edinburgh commuters,  arrive at work and after 30 minutes it'll be like I've never been off. 

Still off to Glencoe for a few days on Thursday.

Ahh shame the easterly has been cancelled and it looks like its the NW and Scotland that will benefit from cold zonality... such a shame that. I'm almost tempted to go gloat a bit that ive still got snow on the ground from boxing day with yet another ice day today although I might not be welcome... the nut house thread is the place to avoid tonight.

couldn't help myself....:drunk-emoji::drunk-emoji:

I seen your post in the model forum, well said! :)

Some people are jealous that we have had snow and it seems we are not welcome to mention it! If it was the other way around then we wouldn’t hear the end of it!

Nice pictures @Benvironment :)

Passed through Glenshee yesterday en route to Linn o' Dee for a walk.  It was absolutely mobbed, but great to see the slopes so busy, with lots of families having fun. As you say, though, it was bitter. The car registered -5C mid afternoon.
