No woke us up too, it was a cracker.

Help, what does TOORP mean? I've Googled but am still unenlightened.

My thoughts exactly, thought I'd strayed into the wrong thread. I like the elf though.

Raining here too :-(

Still freezing here, -2 according to car temp gauge, campervan still covered in frost. According to met o we're meant to get sleet at 8.00 followed by heavy rain. Any chance the sleet/rain might actually be snow I wonder?

Clear blue sky and very frosty here, beautiful day for a walk so will drag the kids out later.

It's splat!

Heavy, sleety rain here.

Wakes up, rushes to window in excitement, throws open curtains expecting to behold lovely white snowy scene, sees..........more rain, sags in disappointment, decides to have another half hour in bed.

I've got one of those too, five years ago today.

Snowing again here. Would be nice to get a good covering but I suspect it'll just be a dusting. Stupidly excited, but as I'm Cornish and not really used to snow think it's ok to keep looking out of window every 2 minutes.

Sleety, heavy rain here now.

Snowing (wetly) in Falkirk. Sort of a rain/snow mix. Kids going mental

Wet, wet, wet here so far this morning.

Well I excitedly kept checking through the night, met o predicted sleet for Falkirk but we're quite high up so sleet down in the town is often snow for us. Sadly nothing but rain, horrid cold looking rain. :-(

Snowing here in Falkirk, lightly.

Been lurking for a few weeks. Liking the snowy pics, just clear and cold here.

Been a rotten summer so far, only managed two trips away in our campervan for the whole year. Last week's trip to Gairloch was abandoned after two days as we we're having to sit in our sleeping bags in the evenings in order to avoid frostbite. It's helped with one thing though, definitely off to France for a summer holiday next year, stuff the staycation idea. Any early thoughts on winter?

Snowing in Falkirk. Kids excited and awake way to early.

It's getting a bit windy out there now.

Snowing here in Falkirk, not sticking on wet ground though.

We took the kids up Anoch Mor on the Gondola last Thursday. They loved it. We're not skiers (Yet) so we just walked up to the nearest viewpoint and played in the snow away from the runs. I managed to humiliate myself trying to get to the viewpoint as you have to cross the drag lift run which was a sheet of ice. I had to go down on my knees to get across while hubby and kids pretended they didn't know me. Was also sneared at by a grumpy middle aged man in silly luminous yellow ski jacket. Still it was worth it for the view.

We're up that way next weekend too. We've booked a cottage in Dura for four nights, looking forward to getting the kids out in proper snow.

We've got two sunny days forecast which hopefully will mean we can get the kids out somewhere pretty on Saterday. Conic Hill or Ben An perhaps.

Shock just looked out of window to find fresh snow. Immediately stopped making packed lunches and rushed to check netweather forum. Much more fun than chores
