Wild wind here in braemar and rain just started. Horrible day.

Heavy snow in braemar.. just back from a 700 mile round trip to Yorkshire, took 45 mins to get up the hill at glenshee, really need to get winter tyres! Maybe 3in of snow on the road and not been gritted. A1 wasnt bad at all, but saw flashes of lightning over fife, wind howling here but awning still up, very blustery.

Makes life very interesting as a biker...

Snow's all gone in braemar, and even the tops of the hills are bare. Hard to believe we were ploughing on Sunday. 6.6c with a bit of sunshine this afternoon.

She left some time ago. All new managers and staff this year. We have a daft basset though... Heavy rain now, roads are really slippy. 1.3c

I'm a warden here, say hello next time you visit!

Big dry flakes falling in braemar now

Just finished watching the cannonball run and stuck my head outside.. was dry at 9.30!

Temp is dropping fast and everything is freezing. Puddles have all frozen over in the last hour and wind has picked up again. 1.3 degrees but feels much colder. Anymore snow today could get interesting!

Mountains are white round braemar, been snowing heavily in the village and starting to lie. 2.1 degrees dropped to 0.8 in the last hour.

Yay plough and snow blower primed and ready to go.

Wild here, awning seems to be holding and no drips from the resealed rooflight snows all gone from the tips of the hills round braemar. Glad we got all the caravans resited yesterday.. not a day to be outside.

Proper blowy here in Braemar, loads of rain through the night. Glad I managed to reseal my rooflight last week or it would have been dripping all night.some snow on the tops of the hills round about and the wind has gotten much colder.10 mins outside and that was enough for me. 3 degrees now but feels much colder. We open again on Friday, here's hoping for snow to bring in the skiers. Drove to oban and back yesterday and the roads were terrible, so much water. ...and potholes..

Left braemar a couple of hours ago at -7. Now in glenrothes at 1 degree.heading home soon, wonder what it will be!

-6 now.

Just hit -5.1 here and dropping..

Proper dry snow in Braemar ..1.1*C.

my wee weather station said lowest temp overnight was -8.9. Drove back from Fife last night and it was interesting to watch the temps change. Temp rose climbing up to glenshee, then dropped again down to braemar. Glenshee was -3. This was 20 mins later in braemar. Still -2.8 now at nearly midday.

-4.5 degrees now. Yr.No are forecasting -12 for me on Tuesday! As we now live in a caravan, and try not to use the on board facilities, I need to stop drinking so much coffee, as the walk to the toilet block isn't pleasant every hour or so. Defo made the right choice in buying a German caravan, toasty constant 22 degrees inside, and everything inboard so no freezing. Park is closed for a month, so all the wildlife are taking over, red squirrels everywhere, and rabbits . I've had a few moments coming over Glenshee late at night with stags in the road too!

-3.1 here already and dropping. -6 at 9am this morning. ooft.

That's pretty much my front door.

Mair snaw...

Woke up to a wee dusting this morning . Proper Baltic noo. Couple just rocked up with a tent too. Naw to that!

Just been outside.. It's frosty!

Moved to Braemar a few weeks ago. If I don't see a proper winter this year I'm giving up and taking up watching TV. The snow gate is 50 meters away.. Bought a Jeep Cherokee in readiness. Strange thing since we've moved here too... it's hardly rained at all!
