Scotland/Alba Weather Discussion 2019

[ciel]

I noticed two things; firstly there was a small plastic card on his dashboard indicating this minimum charge would apply; secondly, on querying this, I received a rather garbled reply along the lines that the local authority required this surcharge to be made as a condition of his licence to pick up passengers from the station. I really did not have the time to get involved in further discussion.

Interestingly, after havng had some persistent questioning during the journey about where I came from and what I was doing in Aberdeen, he decided to 'split' (his words) the difference and charged £6.

I know it's tiny amounts we're talking, but the principle and deception really annoyed me.

Has actually turned to snow here in Lux. Wet snow and no chance of it accumulating but at least I've seen my first falling flakes

[mistyqueen]

Another below freezing morning here. Really, we've been very fortunate here over the last few weeks when I see the weather that other parts of the country have been hammered with. Poor Yorkshire! Out for a doggie walk yesterday, sunny, calm, clear. Same again today, only colder. I'll take that any day! No sign of white stuff at lower levels yet, but I see we'll have a return to the norm by the weekend. Ach well, it was nice while it lasted!

@Bullseye using the IPhone 11 Pro - not great for long distance zoom but does the job!

@Kirkcaldy Weather Looks like Cirrus clouds to me - not sure which type though.

All high clouds are a type of cirrus, a common cloud that can be seen at any time of the year.

Must be our first ice day here of Autumn - frost has stayed all day in the sunshine. (Even at sea level the rocks and grass are still covered) Took these pictures half an hour ago.

Absolutely freezing all day.

That temperature is dropping like a stone. Wouldn't be surprised if someone sees a -10c tonight

Have managed to get my weather station working again (although it will probably muck up again) but just went below freezing here -0.2 C already

The highest temperatures I observed today was 1C. Currently it's already-3C and I suspect that will fall further.

[NorthernRab]

Cold here at -3'C, think there's a chilly night to come! 

[shuggee]

-4.2/-5.0°C.

Already. My.

[Northernlights]

AS above a fine sunny frosty day. Managed to start ploughing today and ground is  surprisingly dry underneath. Its been a challenging old year weatherwise since  mid  May  with nearly every  farm operation having to be done in very short weather windows.Started off  today at -1c and  its now -2.5c

[Ross B]

-7c already at Glasgow Airport 

[Northern Strath]

-7c to start the day, max of -1.8c, -7c again and heading down, coldest day so far 

[JamesM]

Having washed the car at sunset last night, I got some lovely patterns this morning. 

-5 on the car leaving for work this morning and saw a -3 on the way home at 17.30. First run home below freezing this season. 

Frost never seemed to lift today.

I'm assuming NorthernStrath won't mind me answering but unless he's flitted recently, he's just south of here by about 10 mile or so. I believe he lives in an igloo between Moy and Tomatin.

The 43-year-old was discovered in a Glasgow city centre car park on Sunday evening and later died.

Cheers @NorthernRab haha, something like that, me and Pingu 

upland, in the shadow of a hill and surrounded by trees@damianslaw, pretty fertile for cold

Got the train through to Edinburgh today and there was even frost lingering in shady places in the city.

-6C here 10 minutes ago.

Amazing night for star gazing.

[Quinach]

Another cracking winter's day today, overnight low of -4.4c and a max of 2c with calm winds and bountiful sunshine.

Can we please book this type of weather for the proper winter in a couple of weeks?

It's currently a bone-chilling -5.1c outside so looks like the lowest autumn overnight low (yet..) is in the making.

[Mr Frost]

Bit cold for @tiff this morning...

Edinburgh Airport hit -7c overnight so certainly coldest night so far.

Wow that's some impressive minima. One of my best memories was when I stayed at my brothers near Glagow and went snow hunting. Forecast of heavy snow around the Loch Ness region - so I drove up to Fort Augustus. When I got near Crianlarich it registered minus 10oC. For me, back then, I'd never experienced that. Anyway I got to Fort Augustus and bingo....some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen. I almost didnt make it back. Great memories
