Early signs of a chilly winter

[Toddy]

The temperature is creeping down by around a degree every couple of hours at the moment, so your dusting may well disappear this afternoon but it will likely be back, and some, by morning.

It was cold this morning, warmed up with the sunshine, but the temperature is falling fast now. I'm freezing, I've put the heating on

I was over in Applecross early this morning, headed up the hill just as the light was coming in, and was thinking it was looking rather misty, it was snowing. Not a vast amount and as the temp was around +1 I figured it fine enough for the return, an hour later headed back the snow was starting to stick a little and the temp was down to zero. At home the temperature has been steadily dropping all day and we had a little snow a few moments ago but as it's starting to look ominously dark out there, I think we maybe in for a bit more.

Yep, winter wonderland out there today, skye has fair caught it in the northerly;



Glad I'm not navigating the bealach na ba today.

Wow, that did really did hit Skye.....and that road's not easy in the wet and windy let alone in the snow and ice. I hate driving it in tourist season

Cold, crisp, bright and icy here. Not enough heat in the sun to melt it anywhere but where it shines on it directly.

I'm heading into Glasgow this lunchtime so I don't need to do it tonight; supposedly we might get snow

atb,

The forecast is for it to blow a hoolie from the west later today, snow to low levels on the leading edge then turning to rain/snow on the tops, wind veering in to the north. Good news for snow sports fans as the initial westerly gale should blow the lying snow into the right places, bad news for the evening commute so good call to go sooner rather than later.

Cracking day here, bright sunshine with about 2" of snow we had overnight, the dogs love it.

Sadly it would seem that according to our local weather station, our little slice of heaven :roll eyes: will have to forego the fun of snow, for grey wet, and cold weather instead :hat scarf:
However one can hope they are wrong and much fun and happiness will ensure

Aint that the truth Da. Ive decided our slice isnt as nice as other slices so am relocating my cake knife to North Wales for the weekend

Was also considering going in search of snow and fun in the next week or so. I blame the tabloids myself. They get a boy all worked up with their talk of harsh winters and snow. But then fail repeatedly to make good on their promises. Scoundrels the lot of them

Mix of rain and snow falling here. Hmm...could be interesting this next week.
