*SNOW*Winter is coming*SNOW*

[Toddy]

Thank you
It froze hard last night, but so far no snow, so I'm quietly hopeful everything will be done in a timely fashion.

It's perishing here ? you must be in a Winter wonderland if that snow has hung around

I just got caught in a total white out, i seen the forecast and thought i'd beat it and nip out on my bike for some supplies, chained the bike up outside Asda and the snow was floating flakes and melting before touchdown, came out the shop 20 minutes and my bike had 3 inches of snow piled on every horizontal surface, glad to be back in now as wind has picked up to 40mph coming from the north, looks great from out my 18th floor window

Fair enough mate

It's not fair, just rain here, there was a bit of slush but it's really just rain, on the hills there's a dusting of snow but that doesn't help me

Hail shower here just now ... I had planned to be in the woods last night but life got in the way...
Now the plan is to be out Fri - Sat night and "Wintery Showers" and electrical storms are forecast!

Dazzling bright sunshine

Still really cold though, but driving apart (which is a right royal pain in the glare) it's a beautiful day

It's beautiful this morning M. I love the blanket of diamonds and the way it changes the landscape as the sun moves across the sky. Gives a whole new perspective to the landscape. I live to visit old sites in the snow as though it covers the land it also accentuates things. I had a quick visit to an old hillfort this morning that guarded the northern entrance to Gleneagles (the glen not the hotel). There are a few standing stones punctuating the surrounding landscape and they stand out like dark guardians in the pristine white undulating landscape. All the trees are laden with fluffy snow performing a balancing act atop the branches and everything glitters as you cast your eyes about. Reckon it's between four and five inches in most places though I guess it'll compact over the day with the heat of the brilliant sunshine. I love days like this.

I WANT SNOW

I'm heading to the Cairngorms on Monday for a week, hoping to take the pulk and some luxuries but they don't have much snow yet

Bring skis or snow shoes if you're going up high!

 

[Toddy]

I have a Winter wonderland outside

It froze hard last night, and has never thawed, then an hour ago it started to snow
It's beautiful and the skies look heavy with the promise of more too

There's a trio of folks who planned to go up Tinto today :yikes:
That's our local highest hill, it's on the Lanarkshire moorland/uplands. It's cold up there anyway, and it already had snow.

Stay safe

I want snow to- I just bought some Arktis snow Stowaway tops off ebay and want to try them out.

Its not gotten above freezing here the last few days and the snow is still lying thick. We have some celebrations and re-enactment of the whole village being burned (bar one house) by the Jacobites coming up soon. Unfortunately if Tue weather is bad they wont be doing it outdoors so there'll be no.muskets going off. The local church doesn't go for letting off muskets in their hall for some reason.
Still I had a cracking walk this morning tracking all sorts of fur & feathered things through the woods by their tracks. Was glad I put my big boots on though as it was deep in places.

Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.

We've had about half an inch in the past hour or so here... looks amazing. Thankfully all the shopping is done, my wife has just nipped to the local chemists in the village and we can lock up for the night... the lot of us wrapped up in blankets on the couch.
