Well 20 hours later the power is finally back on, thankfully the kitchen and livingroom stoves kept us fed and warm. The snow tried hard to come through all day with a regular flurry in-between lovely winter sunshine. It's very cold tonight with a hard frost. Such a contrast to the soggy murk of late. The wind is hanging on in the background but I'm just too cozy to care. Enjoy whatever you're having folks.

No power since 8.30 last night. Wasn’t expecting that. Some savage gusts reached us and blew the neighbours fence down. Must have blasted all the way down the great Glen to reach us.

Actually enjoying the dry, cold and windy weather we're having, doesn't stop you getting anything done. We won't be getting any snow so it's dry and cold winter days for the next few days which hopefully is better than sleaty pish any day. Enjoy what you get folks, it's the weekend so whatever is just fine by me.

Peg everything down before it hits - it was like a hurricane when it hit us at 7.30.

Just popping in to say Happy New Year - very disappointed to find human enhanced climate change deniers in this forum, never thought I'd hear the likes!! Boo to you all, it's that kind of denial of science that will be the undoing of us all.

I now spend most of my time browsing here and the focussed thread- I haven't got a clue what they are on about but I don't want to throw things at my laptop which is pretty much how I feel when I risk my sanity and peruse the musings of fools in the other one!
apologies to those from here who post in there but it's just a bit too IMBY for me.

Having missed all of the snow last week I look forward to further snow on the hills - only please. It's been quite frustrating having such skewed weather reports on tv. It's like the west of Scotland suddenly disappeared off the map. However, don't know why I get so irked, we've had plenty snow since December (igloos and everything) and don't think it's been reported either, although not like last weeks - that looked epic for a few days. I think the shine came off it for most when their worlds stopped turning though. Glad to hear things are returning to almost normal for a lot of people but quite some disruption still for some. However, we're all fooooked if there's a zombie apocalypse - it would appear it's most definitely every man/ wifey/ auntie Beanie for him/ herself on the bread and milk front!

Hear, hear - bake some bread, us humans have been doing it for a few years I think, bake some for a neighbour, friends, your auntie Beanie - eat scones, oatcakes, etc, do you really need 'plain' bread? ADAPT I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad!!!! Sorry folks just a bit weary of the moaning. I'll get back in my box now.
Hoi, I didn't say anything about being unhappy or sad - what's this Netweather changing my words. I said ADAPT!!! for folks sake

Lol. I'll double the snobbery by quoting (actually misquoting) Marie Antoinette: 'let them eat cake', although my response is to bake the bloody bread - there's been no shortage of strong flour. Make it with wholemeal flour and you get real bread rather than the miserable pap that turns to paste in your mouth and bungs up your small intestine (links to increased incidence of bowel cancer) that's sold as bread in plastic bags in supermarkets. And what's a freezer for if it isn't for stashing some bread and milk in for times like this, fer fuks sake??!?
On another rant, the radar has shown light snow here again this morning but the ground is still bone dry and nothing falls from the sky (and another rant, apart from idiotic brexit voters who think imposing economic sanctions on your own country in a good idea) so the lesson is, for here, it WILL NOT SNOW ON AN EASTERLY EVEN IF THE RADAR SAYS IT IS.
And breathe.

I'm only interested in snow falling in Lochaber - will it? Or are we just going to be baltic? Those runs at Nevis Range won't top themselves up you know!!

Yip, Winter's definitely over - a fresh 1" of snow this morning, belting it down it was - sure sign of Spring!

I had 7 days straight skiing up Nevis Range from the 1st - the wind has blown it about this week so hoping the gullies are filled now and any new snow settles well so when the wind finally goes we can get back up to play. Such a different winter than last years mehness!!

Drove up from Glasgow over Rannoch Moor earlier tonight. It was a bit snowy in places, the road was completely white in places so glad I got through when I did.
