Really heavy snow here just now, really big flakes. Tried to get to work but the roads are so bad had to give up. The snow has frozen solid. Lots of crashes on A90 Northbound and even saw a police car 4x4 in a ditch!

Heay snow and big flakes here, in South Aberdeenshire

Very heavy snow here, big flakes, couple of inches fallen

Most of the early season skiing events are now cancelled due to the lack of snow in Scandinavia http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/news/fisnews/fisnews.html?actu_id_444=5145&actu_page_444=1

Thanks for the advice!

Here is a link to my weather station in Aberdeenshire if anyone wants to find out live weather in the area and see how cold it gets. Just getting started with it so some of the readings are a bit odd, but the live ones should be ok. Currently 4.9 at the moment. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IABERDEE47

I put this video up on the regional thread. Didn't realise this thread was here! There was no wind so the rumble is the thunder the whole time. Hope you enjoy.

Fair bit of snow at the Cairngorms now

Good stuff, as a regular visitor to the German middle mountains I love keeping an eye on this thread. Notice that there is 15 cm snow forecast in Scandanavia today and it is snowing on the Finland Road cams. Good to see and this is earlier than last year.

I was really surprised how cold it was here this morning. 0 degrees at home dropping to -3 degrees towards Aboyne. Dont think it was forecast to be so cold.

Snowing on the way home tonight then froze over. Roads are very slidy

Very heavy rain and wind at sea level here, but heavy snow inland.

Few inches here this morning, but main problems being caused by fog and the temperature. It was -7 when I left home. The roads, particularily the side roads are really bad. I saw 3 cars off the road in 10 miles.

It is currently snowing here at the moment. It is -2.2.

Took these pics this morning. Heavy fall during the night but melting now as it is 4 degrees. The 3rd photo was taken yesterday morning to show the change to this morning.

Very heavy snow in Stonehaven (at sea level) for the last 30 mins and it is lying. Really big flakes so I am gettng no work done watching it!

It is even snowing heavily here at sea level in Stonehaven! Not lying except on the cars though.

I see from the ice charts that the ice is still increasing and is almost level with 2002. Does this have any bearing on the early cold spells we have been seeing?

Hi Jack One You were kindly including Oberhof in the German middle mountains last year for me. Is is possible to still consider German resorts as I am planning on visiting reguarily this year? Many Thanks

Hi I just purchased a weather station (pretty basic but fine for me!) Sorry for what are no doubt stupid questions but can someone keep me right on what to look out for on the following: Outside Humidity - What should I be looking for for interesting weather? For example if it is going to snow should the humidity be high? Inside Humidity - What is comfortable! What is the dew point (in simple terms) Pressure Hpa - What am I looking at for interesting weather? It is currently 1008.8! Rainfall - How many millimetres constitutes a deluge!? Sorry again as I am sure some of you are banging their head against a wall reading this! Many thanks

Hi I dont post much as I dont understand the technicalities, however I am an avide reader. I am sure that everyone has an opinion about global warming, however I don't think this thread is for it. Can I ask what is probably a silly question. If there is 10% more ice this year on the surface does that mean it is likely to be a colder winter?

Thanks Paul for the reply. Looks like I will have to keep everything crossed for some white stuff!

I am going to the Biathlon world cup in Oberhof in the middle mountains in Germany this year and again there is very little snow. Does anyone know the likelyhood of some colder weather between now and the 1st January? Thanks for any help.

I hear the first ski races in Finland have been cancelled for next weekend due to the warmest early winter weather for decades. They have been moved to Reitalm in Austria.
