November13

Often the heaviest snow in Ski areas is March and April. Plenty time.

Lovely snow here famous Clyde to Forth streamers all night.

Massive flakes here now temp 0c. Hopefully get to late evening tomorrow with snow cover now.

Heavy snow all white again.

There was a small tail of warmer uppers undercutting the cold as forecast. Just an upper air front moving through. Gone in 2 hours so tempo should drop off again.

Heavy snow here.

Windae indicates 2 inches looks stunning and more to come by looks of radar!

Well meto have been pretty duff recently! So it will be nervous look out the window in the morning. Showers dying back in central Scotland just now.

Yeh I am not sure about this one now. Will be happily surprised if we get snow overnight. No sign of anything so far in Falkirk area.

Temp dropped to 2c still rain. Front dropped temp by 3c. Getting very marginal now.

Still rain at Tyndrum not looking great for snow. Tempo are way to high.

Temp down to 3.2 and sleety.

Went from 3.1c to 1.6 in 30 minutes. now have sleet. Cold air undercutting now.

Don't get me started on bumper lickers. Yep usually 4 cars in front of me and I politely wait 3 car lengths behind. Mr 4*4 sits on your bumper expecting you to move. I maintain the gap and don't move. It's great watching their heads shake and eyes goggle. If they try and undertake I close the gap.

I've lowered my expectations for this winter. Instead of seeking a long 14 day cold spell. I will take the scraps of comfort from 1 day of snow then 4 days of rain. So this week some snow could fall on Wednesday evening. Then rain again on Friday. Then a cold late Friday and Saturday through to Sunday evening. so we could have 2 days of lying snow this weekend.

Aye pish the noo....Marginal snow event late Wed and certainly on Saturday morning. Something to look forward to.

Pib I think it's the cold uppers that will do the trick on Saturday. We had 6 days of sub zero last week and it rained due to the uppers being warm.

The brief colder spell Friday night to Sunday midday will be most welcome given this crap at the moment!

Yes it was yesterday the chat about this. It seems to have been downgraded to a northerly with potential snow!

Much talk of a polar vortex on Friday/Saturday! This maybe similar to the storms that cut Arran off a few years back in March.

Don't say your glad it's mild Misty ...you will get a job at BBC Weather!

Naw same on way back...guy tailed me cause there were 4 cars in front of me doing 45! I ended up in front when they pulled off so I sped up to get away from the bumper licker. He then tried to race me the whole way to Blairgowrie! Crazy!

Same yesterday on way to Glenshee. There is a bit where the road goes single track A93. A 4*4 who was up my bumper the whole way. Decided to overtake me, and I was forced on the grass! There were 4 cars in front of me and we were all doing 50 so not crawling. He only go past me and pulled in on front of me. I gave him hell. He arrived two spaces in front of in the car park. Arrogant idiots like that should get taken off the roads. Apologies to 4*4 drivers on here but some of them are Tos*ers! Must be an ego thing....can't be beaten by a wee Clio in front of the wife.

Good day at Glenshee. Snow came on later but turned to rain even at 3000ft! The ski centres are going to be decimated this weekend. Very thin cosmetic bases due to the mild November and December. On the lower slopes the centres will be starting all over again from the Heather by Next week. Not expecting to be skiing again for 3 weeks at least.

Next week looks like the mild will win for the time being alas! After that lets be honest they haven't a clue. I Will take the forecasts week by week. Off to Glenshee tomorrow decided to take the day off wok before the biblical floods come on Friday. Need my ski fix!
