Beautiful Nacreous display this morning, along A1 looking east towards Torness. Glad I had my big coat on

I'm curious, what is that on the right side of your photo?

The Big Day itself looks like a wash-out at the mo. Might be a boat for Santa rather than a sleigh.

Yeah charts look horrible compared to yesterday's, as is always the case.

Far too early to tell.

Some torrential rain showers earlier this evening making driving even more entertaining when combined with patches of ice that seem immune to the thaw.

Currently 3c with light winds.

On different tack, the ongoing house hunt delivered this gem of a property advert to the inbox.  First photos seem okay, if a bit messy.  By number 5 you start to wonder what is going on -  then number 9 reveals all, who wouldn't want a dead pigeon in their bathroom... 

And people pay estate agents for this kind of atrocious marketing!

Some of the snowfall totals in the lake district are obscene but not surprising given the radar, 12-18inches looking at some photos. Refuge centers being set up for trapped motorists too. 

Yeah,I’m in two minds whether I would of enjoyed this or not. We went to the Waterhead Inn at Ambleside last sat-tue. It was great, like having a pub as your living room. Dogs are welcome as were my wife’s feet up in the booths. Would love to have been looking out at this. At the same time worrying about getting home. My cars are not suitable for these conditions.

Yello weather warning just issued for the west /south West tonight. Marginal with snow mostly above 200m if the showers even make it this far inland 

Just outside the warning area, so I’ll dig out the snow shovel.

A snapshot from yesterday. Never got above freezing.

I bought a Sainlogic one from Amazon a couple of years back. Been ok but seems to be taking in moisture the last couple of winters. When it’s dry and cold it’s fine. Can view stats on  Weather cloud. 
would recommend.

-4.4 here just now. No snow but loving the cold. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Odd, temp dropped here from 3.8 to 1.4, and now has risen to 2.5 in the last 45mins..

We were -3.6 and now at -3.2. Strange.
