Scotland/Alba Regional Weather Discussion - 16/01/2018 Onwards

Few photos from my mates at Harthill. The car was just bottoming out due to the snow being so deep: 

 

And a couple of the view across from my bedroom window, love seeing the wind driven ripples across the fields: 

 

and sunrise this morning:

Well what a memorable week this has been. The kids have been out every day/evening this week sledging, building snowmen and having snowball fights. Tomorrow we may see some snow before turning to rain as the milder weather finally breaks through. If I don’t see any more snow the rest of this winter I will not be bothered as this week alone has been great!

Amazing photos from everyone also!

Well the BBC has me down for a snow shower at 7pm and then 8 hours of heavy snow from 1pm tomorrow. I will believe it when I see it.

Had plenty on today but managed a wee walk along the coast. Beautiful winter's day!

[Stormeh]

Whiteout! Terrible conditions in Birmingham....

Got to love the Daily Mail

[JamesM]

Been around freezing all day and the car currently says -2. Had a walk around the village earlier. Dry, crunchy snow rather than the usual West of Scotland wet mush. 

Been to the shops this afternoon and I can confirm there is snow in Kilmarnock!! Albeit not that much. 

Looking a bit meh after tomorrow. Hopefully February brings some more fun.

[Ruzzi]

Is there suppose to be a rapid drop in temps tonight then? 

 

[SW Saltire]

Been a great week. 

No meaningful snow in Leith and most of Edinburgh and you’d wonder what the fuss is about.

Yet as soon as you head south it’s a different world.

By far the snowiest place is near Tinto hill with easily 10-12 inches it looked like. 

Back home, it was a very decent week. Usually we get lots of showers from the West but uppers are marginal and it’s sleet. However not with this one, 5/6 inches lay at one point and there’s still about 4 left which is all icy and crunching. 

Been a good winter so far and hopefully February can deliver something too

Much of Scotland has a nice white coat I suspect it’s been a few years since anything alike.

There must be some model related discussion that can be slotted into in the Model Thread ???

[overlander]

A few pictures

[Northernlights]

Well thats another  sunny ice day with a maximum of -0.5c.I think this about the fifth ice day this winter so far.

Some marvellous cloudscapes today again to the north and east.

 

The ones to the east I have heard descibed as "Buchan Boaters" as they come on to the Buchan coast off the Firth

.

It seems that it will become less cold next week  but on our local forecast but there will still be a risk of a ground frost most nights except Tuesday/Wednesday night and snow showers and an air frost  return on Friday. Winter is not over yet and it seems this winter the milder spells get shortened every time they  try to take hold.

I am sure @More Snow will be happy to do this! ?

Went for a walk from Clarkston to the World War Two Anti Aircraft Battery on Netherton Braes via Linn Park. Graffiti in the third photo includes ‘nostalgia used to be better’. 

 

[Benvironment]

Great pics on here today. So good to see the good weather coinciding with a weekend again so that folk can make the most of it.

That Glencoe jam was to be expected I suppose, given the forecast was amazing and tomorrow.......isn't. I thought the roads up north would all be a nightmare so opted for a short drive to St Fillans instead. Didn't see a soul all day!

Coldest night of the winter?

[Northernlights]

After two dry cold days  it seems there are some small snow showers heading towards us from the NW on the radar. Lost count of the number of times  over the years we have a last minute snowfall  just as it is about to get a bit milder. Currently 0c so temperature slightly up so there coud be a little snow on the way.

[Scottish-Irish Skier]

Aye, whit a crackin day.

Sun splitting the heavens and snaw glistening fae dawn till dusk. No a drip heard near fort SS.

Still a guid 17 cm oan the picnic bench and Meto has us gaun oot wi a bang the morn.

Great snaps folks.

[Big Innes Madori]

Noo that's whit ah call a proper winters day!

Blue sky, sunshine, Max temp here -2 Deg C and powder snaw getting on for a foot deep in the park. Took the Grandsons oot oan the wee quad bike and had to dig it oot umpteen times till ah got a track pummelt through it.

Then drove one of the Daughters tae Stirling, through Coalsnaughton and Fishcross along the stunningly majestic Ochils and saw temps of -4 Deg C at half one in the efty and still some snaw cover oan the roads.

Noo, if Carlsberg done days!!! ?

If the snow will not come to Hawesy then Hawesy will seek out the snow. Beautiful day in Glen Tilt and very quiet.
