Mair Snaw

@Ravelin rears look ok for now still decent depth on them and once moved and settled back into old house i will be stocking up the dry store with rice pasta long life milk part baked bread rolls etc and i always have an emergency stash of beers and other stuff as the nearest shop is about 6 miles in Rothienorman and if the weather is that bad i wont bother trying, also have a neighbour with an all signing all dancing 4x4 off road beast that made TBFTE look like a dusting in feb 2018 so if worst comes to worst i will borrow that.

great pics as always @CatchMyDrift, that field looks a bit wet and sloppy.

Car is back and im £250 lighter in my back pocket, poxy battery was dead too, well it was 14 years old. the mechanic said you do know you got all weather tyres on the front on that dont you? i had no idea, but upon inspection it does seem that the front set are indeed michelin cross climate and newish ones they look too. rears are just standard tyres. advice guys and girls shall i get cross climates for the rear as well. it is only a front wheel drive but unsure of what to do. cheers in advance.

@mardatha dont think its forecast but some of the higher up members could wake to something at some point. sorry to hear about your husbands poor health hope all gets sorted soon and he is back out with his snaw shovel soon..

Wow sudden change in the long range bbc forecast. suddenly down to mid single digit maxes... winters coming folks. i wonder who in here will see snaw first.. please be me.

very cold and frosty start her this morning. -3 at 6am, looks very nice with the morning sun just coming over the hills.

Non weather related stained glass windowing car just broke 2 weeks before we move... to say im unhappy is an understatement. i dont think the swear filter would cope. and my football got stuffed earlier too... cloudy but no rain since early hours here, breezy tho.

Yuk... horrid day out. wet and cold. i much prefer white and cold.

Just back from Aldi.. and found this stout for breakfast eh..

if it could hold off for a couple of days so i can get back to my house in Aberdeenshire on the 30th. after that it can get as cold as it wants for as long as it wants..

It's a bit wet this morning.

Well that the mobile router purchased. now to go get my unlimited data sim from EE and it will be job done for the mega wifi when move to the old house in Aberdeenshire. ha ha ha in ya face BT with ya 1mbps...

yes i remember 17/18 and in particular the pictures of you back garden. even more so during TBFTE....

Never knew this thread was about still. well last white xmas for me was 2017. it was 13c at dinner 1pm and we had the windows open, by 10pm it was snowing so technically a white xmas, but for me it really has to be a good cover with either ice cold and clear or ice cold and more snow falling.

@Norrance and @Kirkcaldy Weather posting filthy weather porn in the snow and ice thread... some stunning stuff just dont tell mrs Big Snow ive been looking at it..

looks like the south coast is about to get pumped by some mental thunderstorms.

@Ravelin thanks for the advice, getting some great advice from a local person who already does it via a router brought from Amazon and use an EE sim only deal £34 a month with unlimited data.. looks like it could be a good option, spoken to landlord who lives next door and he has great 4G coverage on his mobile.

Any of you guys and girls that are Rural heard of a company called Northsat? seem to have good reviews online. and any of you use another provider? says 20mbps via satellite broadband. £99 per month unlimited. bit more than BT but 1mbps from BT so im kind of thinking it could be worth it. EE offering 500gb per month on mobile wifi for £50 per month.

Rain looks very heavy at the football.

@CatchMyDrift are you on holiday overseas? this is not the scotland i know..

Ramp.... we have a thread for that.... very nice charts tho and i do hope that we see much more of it during the coming winter months.

Ha Ha Ha Ha, ive just been in and given my opinion... no doubt i will be on a ban within the next few hours..

Some really heavy showers rattling thru here today, 19 sleeps until the Big Snaw family return to snaw zone in Aberdeenshire. looking forward to the coming winter, i do hope it is as good as the last one when we lived up that way and TBFTE battered us for 5 days straight. Bring the snaw.

Stay out of the MOD this morning its all kicking off over ramping of cold charts, well known mild lover and his squirrel not happy at the sight of a cold plunge "ohhh Matron"

very wet afternoon here in crieff. on a good note the new Aldi has opened today and they are giving away free bags for life to each customer.
