Would seem things have gone the way of the pear according to the MT.. snow all but gone here and we have returned to the default damp and grey.

Covering of snow here but wow, that was some thunder snow around 3.30 am. Woke the whole house

Another damp grey morning.. A bit like the mood in the MT. The BBCs longer range forecast last night described the difficulty in forecasting anything at the moment. Could be cold next week or relatively mild. The weather as always will do as it pleases. Actually starting to get a bit scunnered with this weather now and looking forward to the longer days.

We have snow !!! Albeit the lightest of lightest dustings but it was definitely snow !! Was -1 this am with hard frost.

A bit of calm after the storm here in Balmedie. Quite a pleasant day now. Seems to be a bit of growing interest in the models for cold/snowy weather to appear later in the month...…..

-2 first thing in Balmedie this am. Got to -4 when I arrived at work in the city centre though. Stunning sun rise over the north sea this am. Without sounding overly negative ( and I do quite enjoy reading some of the posts of the more learned posters in the HFC thread. And I do hope that cold / snow is not too far from arriving ), if the MET office has access to far more model data that the mere mortals and they have updated their longer range forecast to the potential of cold arriving late Jan/Feb then isn't the hunt for any earlier cold a bit pointless ?

Cold and grey here on the east coast. I do wonder if the SSW is not going to bring the snow/cold that some of us are looking for. The latest 16-30 day forecast from the met seems to be quite a bit of a downgrade

Merry Xmas folks. Hope you all had a good one. Had a fantastic day trip to visit Santa in Lapland last week. Although not huge amounts of snow , certainly enough for a festive scene. It got down to -31 by the river so had to make a few journeys in doors to try to keep warm. Kids loved it though. Seems that we will have to wait until mid January before we get a chance of any real cold to these shores.

Noticeably milder today 10 degrees when I left to work back of 7. Forecaster on 5 live suggested it might get colder on Xmas day very briefly then a quick return to milder westerly winds..... I know the winter hasn’t officially started yet but there hasn’t even been a hint of colder weather this neck of the woods this year. Usually we get a few frosts and flurries by now but not a thing..

No snow here but dunes are decent to sledge on.. great morning for a walk on beach

6 degrees on the east coast but bitter wind. Won’t see any wintry stuff today but fingers crossed might see some next Saturday ( taking kids to Lapland for day ).

Thanks Jo. Much appreciated. I think I will be more excited than the kids !! What will be will be but I do hope there is a bit of snow before we go. Fingers crossed.

A wee reminder of 8 years ago from Facebook this morning.. how times have changed..

Dreich, dam..ach you have heard it all before...... Starting to get a wee bit concerned as am taking the wee ones on a surprise trip to Lapland to meet Santa on the 22nd Dec and there is no snow!!!!! And very little forecast for the next couple of weeks.

Nooooooo ! Have a trip booked for the 22nd Dec. Surely there will be some snow by then ???

Rinse and repeat at the moment. Grey , dank and driech. Its not even that cold... Autumn is usually my favourite season but this year its just thrown a ( relatively ) mild , damp mess at us. I don't think I have even had to scrape the car windows once so far. And don't even mention the leaves in my garden !! .

Driech day in Aberdeen today. Wouldn't fancy getting the ferry north today. Sea as choppy as Ive seen it for a while. Loads of sea foam being blown in off the sea.

Showery morning in Balmedie. Seem to have missed the real cold as 6 degrees here.

Great view from the 14th tee

Has been absolutely chucking it down all day here. All snow now assigned to the history books. Looking forward to later in the week when it dries up a bit.

Gone from snow to snizzle to rain back to full on snow again...

Has been snowing very lightly all morning here. Turning more and more to rain though. Met o has us with heavy rain from early afternoon. Next issue will be ice though with temps due to drop overnight. Any thaw could be a long drawn out process for those with tonnes of the stuff..

Not much added overnight here but snowing at the moment. Probably the last day of snow showers before the rain appears tomorrow. Going to make the most of it

Furryboots are you in the shire MS?

Snowing in Balmedie!!!! ?
