My location in the west of Scotland which is pretty wet by national averages receives about 1 meter of rain annually. to get that in about 48hrs really is unbelievable -
You should move to the west of Scotland it's been autumn since June 2015

Nature will balance itself out and all the sun starved people on the north and east coast will soon b rejoicing when summer starts and the warm mist and drizzle rolls into the west of Scotland over the next 3 months. I'm just making the most of this lovely weather here in the trossachs best may for a number of years max temp of 24.9c today not far behind last year's max of 25.5c -

I see Kim Jung loon found GPs torpedo and fired it right into the stratosphere to stop any kind of sudden warming.He knows that most of the people in the UK would love to see cold weather in winter and by doing this really hits us where it hurts. cover them up Sydney but not from the cold . Ps as much as I hated seeing the charts that knocker kept posting the majority of them were spot on for mildes this winter will be the benchmark for years to come -

Snowing again just now nice surprise after a couple of inches of wet snow this morning with temperatures below 0c until about lunchtime then a little wintry mix and a max temp of 1.1c currently -0.4c and only going one way now . I agree about the smug weather presenters saying it's going to be mild it is the met office and bbc default setting and only at the very last minute (or sometimes not at all) they will mention cold and snow . you won't see the sportscene guys looking as smug when Celtic win the premiership when they stuck their neck on the line and predicted it. sorry for the rant I ficking hate the mild super duperty weather -

Still moderate snow just now although the wet variety and sticking to everything including the telephone line that is sagging to about 6 foot of the ground . One thing I'll have to admit to is that Stirling district finest council workers have done a good job clearing the side roads over the weekend (maybe the double time) it must be Monday now because I've yet to see a gritter and people have to get to work. -

The only experience's I've had with snowshoeing is when i was in maine in January 2009 myself and my partner had to purchase them(about £100 a pair) just to go for a walk the first couple of days getting used to them certainly tested the bladder control watching each other fall and roll about the snow like an upturned turtle trying to get back upright once you did get the hang of them they certainly were essential and easy to use .we never purchased the walking poles to go with them which most of the locals had no point as i did not think i would get the chance to use them in Scotland i was wrong they've been used once dec 2010 would recommend giving it a go if you get the chance -

Well even by Scottish standards that was a pretty wild night there was pretty severe flooding in Aberfoyle today and a number of businesses affected for the 2nd time in 3 weeks including the forth inn which is probably one of the best pubs in the area. after a refurb 5 years ago and a 6 month closure due to flooding this must be heartbreaking
