After frozen ice day, showers pushing in from the east this evening, couple hefty ones giving inch of fresh snow in quick order, snow beginning to drift now in stiff increasingly bitter winds.. The road near Lairg this evening and earlier from our back field looking Nw towards Ben Hee. Stunningly clear air felt like you could lean out and touch the mountains.

[Hawesy]

 edo I’d kill for those scenes. That’s epic snow by East Neuk standards 

+4c with wind blown rain here.

 edo thats enough snaw to close most of England so enjoy it pal...

[Ravelin]

Got as high as 0.7C here today but although it felt chilly there was no wind so it wasn't too bad. Currently -0.6C and sat under a snow shower, which is adding to earlier slight accumulations. 

It was 'heavily stealth snowing' late afternoon for a bit. I was working in the motorhome adding a switch panel into the solar system at the time. As the side door lock had iced up I'd entered through the cab, leaving the door ajar. Turned round 10 mins later to find the drivers seat, door pockets, footwell and half the dash board covered in snow. Cue some furious brushing out.

A few snow showers earlier on has left about 1cm on the ground.

Debatable that it will be all there in the morning as surprised to see temperature has risen over the last few hours from -1.3c at 5pm to 2c now, with a definite thaw on the roof.  Stiff easterly wind as well encouraging the dog to do it's business quicker than usual!

[Wee County Exile]

Heading back to my hometown of Nairn for a long weekend later today. Looks like we will escape a fairly bleak weekend of weather here in Aberdeenshire. Looking forward to some bracing runs and walks along Nairn seafront and surrounding areas.

Only evidence of snow this morning is a light dusting on the hill behind the house from about 250m+. Wee bit more of a covering in the higher Pentlands. 

 

[Hawesy]

It’s a foul morning. Easterly wind just short of gale force, driving rain, 4c.

[Ravelin]

Currently 0.8C, dewpoint -0.7C, with a covering of what looks like quite wet snow from overnight showers. Heavier stuff still being forecast to move in later today, and for now at least the radar is saying we are, being far enough inland, in the snow zone rather than rain or sleet. 

[Northern Strath]

About an inch of fresh stuff overnight with some blustery snow showers coming in this morning, traveling a fair stretch over land to reach us on a direct easterly 

[Hairy Celt]

1C and dry for now. Typical miserable grey straight easterly day with the heat being sucked out of the house. 

[Norrance]

Miserable here this morning. Very strong ESE wind bringing in bursts of rain and sleet. Cold at 1.4C. Crucially though wet bulb is 0.6C so our covering of snow from last night has gone.
Btw thank you for the calculator @Hawesy

This was our total amount...hee-haw snaw..!!!

I must admit it was clear to see from earlier on in the week that was going to be the outcome.

Slushfest out there with the remaining snow from yesterday evening slowly fading away.

1.3c with a strong East wind blowing in pulses of rain/sleet.

Grumpy kids as a result, no snow to play in and too wet to go out.  Perfectly timed midterm break

Frequently used to use this weekend to go skiing, usually over to Nevis Range as its not a day trip from here. Not managed that for a few years though. 

Still definitely snow that's falling here but struggling to accumulate much as it's marginal temperature wise. I suspect our extra height is making the difference l, and that in Alford itself it's more likely to be a sleety mess. 

 

[Hairy Celt]

One for @Northernlights

 

[Snowandrocks]

Occasional short spells of snow blowing through but surprisingly dry so far - pretty miserable though with existing snow cover just about hanging on. 

[shuggee]

Snow line retreated to 300m+ now - after last night's whopping 3cms, but it's still snowing. Not enough left at 9am to make this the seventh official snow day of the season at shuggee towers, but it was the 32nd air frost at -0.1C (so only just) in an easterly gale. 

[Hairy Celt]

All our lying snow has now gone. The last bits vanished really quickly and without melting, just disappeared into the air. 

<snow fetish alert> It was fascinating watching the snow ablate - it didn't melt into blobby lumps, it held its crystal structure all the time, just shrinking away. I don't see this often just here.

There were tiny hints of more here but it quickly disappeared and another disappointing event snow-wise.  Looks like yet another dismal winter.
