Looking good up there in the Cairngorms this morning, Yellow snow warnings out for the Scottish Boarders.

Slight covering at 6am and snow billowing down.  Puppy was not happy going outside to do business and cat ran in disgusted. Roads across western Borders black but at height by Skirling/Kirkdean it was a winter wonderland - I love frosted pine trees sprinkled in icing sugar :oldlaugh:

Wild wet and windy here with a very cold wind from the NE off the Firth at 3c. Feed cattle in steading as neeps in field finished with lifted ones to feed them and the book work for rest of day.

Rain had turned to a real wintry mix by the time I left the house earlier. Even here in Edinburgh City Center it's got hail and sleet.

Cairngorms have had a good dumping 40cm + still snowing.. Parts of the A9 are shut also.

That was some rain this morning, I'd guess at around an inch fell here. Eased off now, replaced by noisy bloody gulls.

Some proper snowy pictures on the SAIS blog today - Northern Cairngorms catching the heaviest falls.

Remember February, when people were wearing T-shirts and driving convertibles!

This warning was far too late, it only arrived at 1.30am in the morning, anyone going to bed earlier than that will have thought to expect nothing - what is the point in warnings at such short notice, when the event is happening.

I don’t understand why there weren’t (I don’t think) any warnings in place for north and upland north-east Scotland as snow closed two A Roads (the Glenshee and chicken Bridge/Tomintoul roads) today, with much heavier falls than regions further south. It’s almost as if the Met O believes there is nothing but mountain goats north of the central belt.

Note for future reference - a certain place name above Strathdon autocorrects to Chicken Bridge

Thunder snow here... in April! 

What a strange winter/spring it's been, enjoying the lightning show though. 

Had it just been that touch colder then it would have been a very interesting night with a large constant stream of precipitation from the east. It's constantly changing between wet snow and sleet.

Was 2 huge flashes of lightning around midnight but no thunder. Then heavy rain. Got to go to EdinB today for vitally important stuff (ok hair done) so hope it behaves today and no snow on the A7..

Hmm, weather station showing temp as 20c, something not quite right with that! Yesterday was a day from hell right enough, freezing sleet, strong winds and big puddles. Struggled trying to find somewhere to have lunch in Portree yesterday, so after shopping and birthday card hunting we did finally get in somewhere. Not a place I would normally venture into with mediocre service and grub ok, but since the tourists had taken over everywhere else it was all that was left! Silly season has arrived early this year, and not everywhere open, glad I'm one of the great retired now!

Just noticed a cm or so of slush around the perimeter of the garden, driveway etc. suggesting we might have had wet snow at some point overnight.

Not a good outlook for farmers especially livestock ones reliant on grass growing in the spring as although there is rain/sleet here just now the forecast on here for the next two weeks has the potential for a ground frost every night. Some areas of newly sown cereals look like being flooded out too.  Most farmers had eeked out last summers meagre supplies till now but a cold April will put them under a lot of pressure. Currently heavy rain/sleet and 4c
