Back edge of that snow band has turned to light rain here. A sad end to a fantastic, memorable week :D

Still hanging on as wet snow on the west side (of Currie) just !

0.7C and snowing. Like everyone else it's not amounting to much, but it's nice to see the bare wind-scoured parts of the fields and driveway finally looking white too :)

Lots of snow still falling in Aberdeenshire and the northern Highlands by the look of things?

Been snowing here most of the day and now heavier and being driven along on a nor easterly , little drifts forming on the bigger drifts.  Awoke to a fresh covering of 3 or 4cms  and probably had another 3 today.  Only bit of thawing is on the car .

It's actually starting to accumulate a slushy depot on cars. Check your lamppost again, you might be back to snow too ! :)

Temp on my weather station has dropped to 1.2 after a high of 2.1c.

 I just can't let go can I ? :rofl:

I work for a supermarket and for a small but significant minority of our customers EVERYTHING is the fault of the staff. You have no idea what folk can be like. Almost always older people, majority female and almost exclusively well off. Most folk are cool about it all though and just laugh it off if we're out of stock of something but some lose the plot completely. I've worked in retail for many years and it is not for the faint hearted. 

Some people are absolutely ridiculous.

I feel like a poor little deprived child. Why couldn't it have snowed like this a few days ago?

Because we had it instead....

Yeah sure has. Reminds me of those 80's winters when the bitter easterlies seemed fairly frequent.

Think the whole of Scotland has faired ok this winter with the polar westerlies and now the easterly. 

Kids have had several sledging days including the unexpected but very much enjoyed Christmas cold spell that let them sledge from Boxing Day til Hogmanay.

Think I read that chionomaniac said that he reckoned we are in for a few colder winters in the next few years and this would just be a warm up ( excuse the pun). 

@lorenzo may have more informative chat on that.

Sometimes pop in here in the summer to read people's thoughts but like the model thread I very rarely post. But hats off and thanks to the regulars that continuously post it's very much appreciated.

:hi:

One more bit of sleet from this spell ongoing now before it probably clears still take a while to clear all this snow we still got left the next problem might be the amount of water going to be a lot from the snow melt
