Ask nicely now, this is a family forum.

[PUTIN]

Families understand one another inately with not much said, don't they?

Anyway, to keep Hairy happy:

Any pics, PLEASE?

[Klippie]

Everything has dried up again and hopefully another nice sunny day...the temperature has recovered to +2.7deg/C from an overnight low of -3.2deg/C.

Its great to see everyones April snow pictures.

[NUT]

Little snow overnight (small smidgens still laying on the grass) has clouded in after a clear and sunny start

[Puffy MacCloud]

No sign of snow here, in fact not much sign of the clouds needed to bring some snow, so it's just another bright, sunny morning. Except it's cold.

Temperature currently 3.4deg.C up from a minimum of -2.7deg.C at 06:56, humidity is 58%, wind 3 to 6mph northwesterly (very sheltered here from any wind with a westerly component), pressure is 1024.1hPa rising slowly, there's been no precipitation today and 1.0mm of rain in the last 24 hours, cloud cover is 1/8 and the dew point is at -4deg.C.

[Snowandrocks]

Occasional showers of heavy blowing snow coming through. Lovely light powdery snow blowing around everywhere. A few people might have to do without their shopping this morning! 

[Ravelin]

Well this winter hasn't been one with a lack of snowy pictures,but I suppose it's obligatory to post them even in April.

[Hawesy]

Great to see some snowy pics again. No snow here but it was a cold start, with a min of -1.5c even in Pittenweem. The wind made it a penetrating frost. Blue skies and currently 5c/-6c at Leuchars though feeling colder in the wind!

[Mair Snaw]

Some of these showers are insane... settling instantly where the sun has melted what fell overnight and then as soon as the shower stops and the sun comes out the snaw retreats back to shaded areas. 

[thebigyin]

Exciting weather. Wind blowing it bare, then sun melting other than drifts, then another squall comes in. Thus one of the better ones so far at lunchtime, though on heavy again. severe windchill

Don't remember you as part of a family. However I'm just a grumpy old man with a failing memory and a buggered leg so take yer cod manners elsewhere.

[Gogoslo]

Well that was bizarre.  Left the house for walk in a blizzard with the roads all covered and came home an hour later with blue skies and sunshine, snow almost gone and roads bone dry.  As if the snow hadn’t happened.  

[Snowandrocks]

Quite wild when the showers come through, whipping up the snow so there's almost no visibility at times. I've also lost the roof from my tractor shed - it had been looking a bit sketchy but I had hoped it would last until next summer. 

[Northernlights]

The last but one drill of neeps for the cows,just out for an hour today and then ran back in.

 

Roe deer grabbing the grass before the frost does.

 

Wind chill out there today is incredible.No hope of surviving on a mountain today up here. Currently 32c and very gusty wind with snow showers in the vicinity

Very very  dry air and sublimation

[shuggee]

Can confirm snow drifts in Tweeddale 

-3.2°C overnight meaning my fifty second air frost. 

[A Winter's Tale]

Just had a brief snow flurry after nearly two months without seeing snow. It’s always a nice bonus seeing snow falling in non-winter months. I’ve never had lying snow in April and I suspect this year won’t be any different but further north there could be some pretty decent falls of snow during this spell. 

[Puffy MacCloud]

By an uncommon measure of good luck the few clouds that made an appearance today have missed the village completely and so it's been a sunny day from beginning to end, albeit cold and windy with a maximum temperature of only 6.4deg.C at 16:14 and the wind rising to 17mph at 13:14. The dew point hasn't risen above -3deg.C all day. All that being the case it's been a grand day for sitting in and looking out.

[Mair Snaw]

Still plenty of showers coming through here one of the latest ones was hail and that can down at quite some rate.. currently in a big heavy shower that has turned everything white again. Mon the snaw

[Norrance]

Been mostly dry and sunny here today after last nights brief flurry but since late afternoon a few showers have made it through. Mostly flurries but one heavier one blowing horizontally in the wind. 

[edo]

many flurries here, none of which have lay, the wind though means the coldest i have felt all winter....nothing feels quite as cold as a strong northerly.

[Cheggers]

Beautiful cold crisp afternoon, clouds starting to roll in, I wonder if laden with snaw. 

[Ross B]

A few flakes of snow falling here too, the heaviest of the shower looks like it's giving places like East Kilbride a dusting! 

[TinyTim]

Quick snow shower just now, not lying but amazing to see it

Loved it and that should keep me going til next Winter now... I hope!
