Temp has bounced around in all this sleet/snow. Was down to 0.6°C and settling snow, then back up to current 2.2°C and only remnants on grass with icy sleet. Story of this winter at my location.
Was snowing/sleety even in Peebles this afternoon - slushy deposits nearly sent me flying with a gust of wind up my gusset.
Walk later with the little fella up on the hills behind shuggee cottage:
Twenty eighth air frost at -0.1C around 10pm last night. Temps bounced along toward 1C all night and now up to 4c as the wind has picked-up and light rain around.
Twenty seventh air frost overnight at - 1.0°C. Fair covering of white powder and a beautiful dawn at first light pinky bluey. Quiet cold day in Edinburgh.
Was snowing at home at 6.30am but never really stuck until further north/east past Blyth Bridge. Understand it's still green at home now - too far south and west it seems.... Pah.
Hail, graupel, snow grains, big flakes. The lot. 1.6/1.1°C. Haven't had a really sustained burst so still mainly green at my height but looking over the Tweed it's white at 300m+. Here we go again.
The Tweed valley in front of my home has flooded five times since we moved here in July 2017. Three of those five times has been in the last two weeks.
From 3am tomorrow for seven whole days, my temps only range between -2C and a few hours of 3C on one day forecast. Sleety mix it is.
Fair amount of the white stuff above 200m this morning. Driving fine if a bit slushy in places. Still lots of flooding, and one of the worst sections of the A701 above Skirling has an enormous pot hole in the middle of a long stretch of flooding that took out the whole wheel of a car. Temporary traffic lights installed... Quite a bow wave at 15mph!
I'm working late in Edinburgh and the snow is on at home - white-over apparently. Drive home might be interesting as looking at the radar there's a fair old blob still to pass over....
shuggee worry index at 5.4
Down to 1.9C overnight so everything just wet. Snow was billowing down before bed, and looking around at dawn on my drive into Edinburgh, I'd say it's hills above 300m that are white.
Absolutely disgusting. Persistent heavy sploshy rain in a gale. Easily the worst weather I have walked my dog in in the 12 months I've had him.
Roads flooded too - main A701 into Broughton has merged withe the raging burn that runs alongside to form a river. Tweed Valley 300m wide flooded. No wonder they put DENNIS on the front of fire engines.
Result HC - get to go out in it at last...
Got back home to additional 4cm. Must have pelted down in that lot that passed through at 11am/12noon. Thursday morning? It says 6cm of snow at -1 or 0C before 8am... We shall see.
Currently -0.4C. So that's my twenty fifth air frost.
Snow all the way in from home to into the upper reaches of Penicuik. Pretty bad round the top above Skirling where the road was dodgy into Blyth Bridge and then Lamancha. Many neighbours' power been off (we've been lucky at cottage shuggee). 9cm on grass 2-3cm on other surfaces.
