 Glaswegianblizzard Well, if there's one thing from Scotland that's no better than its English equivalent, it's the Daily Express!

Wow, again we have good weather down here. Been sunny spells and cloudier spells with an intensely cold wind, but dry all day until teatime when we got a sudden heavy shower - of rain. I even got a biggish washing dried ootside. Def got our own wee mini climate around Jedburgh/Kelso.

Heavy hail sleet shower in Killiie just after 8pm...leaving a slushy mess on the roads 

[Hawesy]

Morning all,

A fine start to the day and our second air frost of the month at -0.2c. -3c up the road at Leuchars. A decent day in prospect!

[Norrance]

Bright intervals here too after an early frost. More cloud pm but stayed dry. Max of 7C from a min of -2C. Currently mostly cloudy at 3C

[Norrance]

 Glaswegianblizzard That is defo a new one for me. Thunder snow from the Caribbean! 

[Quinach]

Beautiful clear start to the day, calm and everything white with frost

Met Office forecast way out on temperature prediction as it's currently -6.3c compared to their prediction of -1c.

[Ravelin]

A frosty, clear, sunny -3C here too. Been a fairly decent few days here recently, sunny at times, cool and dry. Surrounding fields still fairly wet though, as evidenced by the state of the roads, which resemble dirt tracks a hundred meters or so either side of field entrances. Cars will be getting a wash today, not that it'll last long. 

[Northernlights]

Frosty start to day at -4c but with clear blue skies Lots of tractors round here trying to take advantage of dryer weather but always managing to find a wet spot in a field where they get stuck patience needed, Managed to get a spring store of neeps up in the last week. Still potentially two and a half months of winter feeding to get through.Snow showeracross the Firth yesterday.

[Hairy Celt]

3rd consecutive air frost last night, fine by day, odd little bits of wintry ppn occasionally. Ground still very wet - and cold too now, so not really drying much in the still air.

[Hawesy]

Another pleasant day, best weekend in some time. Missed an air frost as the low was +1c. Max 7.5c.

[GoldenJackel]

Went out west to get my snow fix today and it delivered plus a fantastic Sun halo!

[Norrance]

 Hawesy  Maybe tonight?  Just gone under 0C here.under clear skies with the light Easterly breeze having died down.

Last night here it went under -2C with the temp at 22.00hrs being +2.5C

Its been Rubbish apart from one 5 day period.. a few frosty nights and a few snowfalls, crud...

 

[Penicuikblizzard]

 Mair Snaw Yip a winter that had so much potential failed to deliver.

I agree hopefully we are looking forward to a early spring 

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Minus 6 yesterday morning then a glorious day until heavy showers late afternoon, very icy this morning with loads black ice but sunny skies although clouds gathering to the west heralding the coming change   Good covering of snow on higher hills prob above 2000 ft.

[Northernlights]

 Winters not over yet Have always considered March a winter Month with stores of feed reducing hay sales usually peak at this point. Dull and 3c this morning. As noted above snow above 2000feet
