Polar Maritime

I've been sea fishing in storms in the North Sea worse than that, A bit of spray here and there but it will get worse

Fresh snowfall being reported in the N/W Highlands today

Even the BBC.. Will most certainly be extremely 'vile' then. Moderate rain moving in now here.

Well let's just keep the secrets a secret then...And stick to the actual facts in here please. And that includes grammatical understanding.

Feeling chilly here now outside with the Northerly wind taking over. Currently 11c outside on the Davis.

16c in living room here. Aga not on and hopefully won't be till November. Water bottles and blackets snuggles with dogs do the trick for now.. welcome back to the 60/70s

Living room currently 16c but not sitting about and keeping active makes a big difference if your able to that is.. I'm trying to keep my heating off which is an old fashioned oil Aga range untill November at the earliest. Hot water bottles, blankets and some extra layers make such a difference. And snuggling up to the dogs We do have an open fire in the living room but the amount of effort that's involved with 70+% going up the chimney I've blocked that off with some plaster board and painted it black.. it's still there if I realy need it and have plenty of free wood from my woods if need be.

Horrific damage this bringing.

18c in the living room here, I've a full tank of oil for the range and will do my best to hold off until November to light it. Bearing in mind I live in the middle of know-where in a bungalow. We have wool filled bedding and hot water bottles/blankets and electric is being used at the most tightest standards with economy 7 being used to full effect which I've had plenty of practice at over the years.. But this winter is where my many years of being tight (and Im regularly called that to my amusement.. will pay off as the belt is realy tightened to the last bukle hole..it's all a game to me and they won't be taking me for a ride I'm sure on that..

Yes loads of field mushrooms and carousel mushrooms around here on todays dog walks, picked half a bag full.. Some of the carousels were 15cm in diameter!

16c here on living room, other half away for weekend so I'm certainly not lighting the old Arga range.. Two Boarder Terries a hot water bottle and blanket are more than enough for me, Grand

Yes the other half is away for the weekend here. Im refraining from lighting the old Arga range, Just me the dogs a blanket and hot water bottle will do. The money I could save ! Temp already 7c outside and 16c in living room. I'm toasty..

Nice to see the first dusting on the Cairngorm plateau today..

Hopefully the first dusting over the the highest tops of the Cairngorms from the UKV for Friday..

Light sometimes moderate rain here for the past few hours. Temp 18c

Storms incoming here at my location, can hear thunder now.. Radar is looking lively.

Moderate to heavy rain for past 30 min with distant lightning flashing the night sky away..

Lovely storm passed here, died off now. What a show!

All died down here but a brilliant storm. Night all

As Chessy said.

Heavy rain and thunder and lightning all round me just wish I had a camera to show you all

Low battery rushed inside now plugged in v heavy rain flashes and thunder all round!! Wow this is fantastic!

Some amazing fork lightning now to my South, only got camera phone will do my best..

Great shots Chezzy.. Radar looking good..
