[Scotland Regional Discussion 26th January 2013]

Snowing in Glenrothes,Fife right now.

[Scotland Regional Discussion 21st January 2103, 12z onwards]

Massive amount of snow here in Glenrothes, chucking it down.

[Scotland Regional Discussion]

Snowing/Sleet in Glenrothes,currently 0.9c.

[Scotland Regional Discussion]

Light dusting in Glenrothes, I cant see them its dark yet, but I bet the lomond hills are white.

[Have You Turned Your Heating On Yet ?]

Curtain idea is a good one, my front door is straight into my sunroom, then a sliding door from the sunroom into the hall. The glass can get very cold during winter, a large curtain goes up every autumn and makes a huge difference. Double glazed or not, glass gets very cold.

[Scotland Regional Discussion - Autumn]

Light frost here,don't know what the minimum was, currently blue sky, and 3.1c.

[Have You Noticed The Reduction In Daylight Hours Yet ?]

I have the lights back on the pushbike for my commute, up hear its still pretty dark at half six.I ride to work all year round( studded tyres etc) and have really noticed the change in recent days, I'm now needing warmer brighter clothing,and my glasses to stop the watery eyes.

[Snow And Ice In The Northern Hemisphere 2012/13]

Snow Ramping.

[Scotland Regional Discussion - Cold Spell Part 2]

Dry, 8.1c, but a cool breeze.Fingers crossed for this weekend.

I was going to take off the winter tyres, but I think I will see Feb out first.

[Scotland Regional Discussion - Cold Spell Part 1]

Just took a walk around to David Sands in Markinch, the footpaths are lethal, a layer of slush, I'm on my way into work early tonight, I was hoping to be running up to work in a snow shower, I'm not so confident now. Drizzle at the moment.

[Scotland - Regional Weather Discussion]

Fitted my winter tyres yesterday, the guy at the garage says he has sold over 300 this week.

Any way, a boring mild day in Fife.

[Scotland - Regional Weather Discussion]

First frost of the year here, went out to the car and I'm having to get the de-icer out.

[Scotland - Regional Weather Discussion]

Cycle home from work this morning, sunrise was amazing, warm slightly muggy, could have been a July morning. Brown leaves on trees didn't look right in such glorious weather.

[Scotland - Regional Weather Discussion]

Quite windy here in Markinch Fife, had a couple of heavy showers which stopped almost as soon as they started.

[Scotland - Regional Weather Discussion]

Grey and a slight drizzle here in Markinch this morning.

[Snow And Ice In The Northern Hemisphere 2011/12]

Its that time of year already,great thread, I will follow most days.

[Autumn 2011]

Its still way to early to predict what kind of winter we are going to have, lets face it its a 50-50 chance cold or mild,someone is going to get it right. As for mother nature, things happening early, I cant say for certain but Im off the believe that nature is reactive not pre-emptive.

So lets all chill (pardon the pun).

[Today's Weather And General Chat]

Dry sunny, 15c.

[How Much Snow Have You Got?]

About 12-15 Inch here,Im constantly losing my battle with the snow, Im trying to keep my car snow and ice free as my wife is likely to go into labour at any minute,Im dreaming about clearing snow.It is worse than last year at the moment,It stopped snowing long enough last year to get things going again.This year its never stopped,I just cant wait to get the new baby home so I can let the car hibernate.

[Winter 2010/2011 Part 3]

Lots of snow here in Fife, I would say 4-5 inches,bloody pain, my wife is due to give birth any day now, I am just hoping the roads stay clear enough so I can get her to hospital.I love snow usually but not this early.

[What's Your Ideal Winters Day?]

Lomondsnowstorm,that was January right? End of the first week? The Red watch up at Glenrothes Firestation,myself included were out at around midnight trying to keep the area around the front appliance doors ice free with bags of rock salt.My gaffa called it a day when the snow arrived,Im glad I didnt have to drive the pump that night,weird sitting in the station feeling helpless................senior officers are even thinking of taking off the snow chains "as we don't use them often enough". Have never seen so much snow come down so quick,that was a busy set of shifts for us.

[When Does It Get Dark Where You Are ?]

I totally agree.I live up here in Scotland also, and a permanent move to BST would IMHO be a bad thing, my daughter would have to walk to school and come home in complete darkness.In the far south this would im sure be an advantage to tourism famer's ETC,but the uk has a dramatic daylight shift from north to south.

[Winter 2010/11]

I second what lomondsnow storm says,Dec 09 was a cracker,snowed in Markinch before Christmas and the snow stayed right through Christmas new year and beyond.

[Do You Remember This?]

I hope we get a good period of cold and snow this year,Im not in to very hot temperatures (no problem this year then) and like the Autumn and winter.One down side of all the snow,Im a firefighter, and had one of my busiest winters for Road Traffic collisions,but the vast majority were minor as people tend to keep there speed down.Still you get the odd Idiot in a big executive car doing 80mph in the fast lane driving over 2-3 inches of hardpack.....

[How was your July weather?]

First post,Hello all,

Grey start today after some fairly heavy downpours yesterday evening,But by 5pm the sun has come out and stayed out.

Just wish the weather would make its mind up.
