Cold bleak weekend, hefty sleety showers more frequent than not at least winds are lighter. Touch of frost most mornings this week, more rain this afternoon and this evening. Hopefully rain looks warmer next week

Arctic day up temps mostly around 5-7C but very cold northerly biting. In the few sunny intervals felt nice enough out of the wind. Managed first cut of grass albeit in thick coat and hat. Quite happen with hitter. Old in the winter but this constant cold is getting tad wearing. Was going to say at least it’s dry but I hear rain now on the roof window…

Cold raw back at home with hail and sleet last couple days. I was getting desperate for warmth and sun so down seeing family in France. After couple warm sunny days we now have cold raw winds here too goddam it. Photos were last weekend.

Bitter bitter cold day here, probably coldest it’s felt since December, light snow falling this afternoon rushed along on the icy ne winds. Windchill of minus 2 this afternoon but it felt worse.

Bit slow on updates, yesterday several wintry showers mostly of fine snow, just 100 foot lower in bottom field just rain. This morning started with a dusting of snow much to the annoyance of the ducks Hansel & Gretel, the ducks in first photo. Snow started again 10ish before quickly turning to sleet then sleety rain before somewhat surprisingly rapidly turning to heavy large flaked snow this afternoon.

Eleven years ago today when I still lived at Ballaleigh between Peel and Kirk Michael on the west of the Isle of Man we had an epic blizzard resulting in the scenes below. That is a full size motor home below my hound. The last snow drift on Sartfell which is only 1600 odd feet high lasted for 89 days.

Shocking news from Rheanbreck we have daffodil out at last yesterday, there were some out lower down in Lairg a few days ago but we have one or two out at last. Nice day today although I missed it as away looks less benign from now until after Easter.

First day for several days able to venture out without being swathed in 5 layers and thickest of hats as bitter easterly finally abated. Even a few brighter spells this morning helping to push temps up to 10.3c. Last nights brief rain gave fresh covering of snow to the higher hills to the sw.

Cold and raw Saturday with wet snow off and on, better since frosty mornings and decent spells of snow which, if you can out of the biting se wind has a bit of warmth to it.

As others have said a grim sort of day temps no higher than 1.4C with biting strong easterly, existing snow bit slushy in places topped up with heavy hail/sleet then proper snow showers whizzing through then dryer spell as fresh snow mets away.

After frozen ice day, showers pushing in from the east this evening, couple hefty ones giving inch of fresh snow in quick order, snow beginning to drift now in stiff increasingly bitter winds.. The road near Lairg this evening and earlier from our back field looking Nw towards Ben Hee. Stunningly clear air felt like you could lean out and touch the mountains.

Been down in Yorkshire for couple days this week, stayed in Ripley lovely little village, even the daffs are in perfect lines! Warm sun down there and very nice here Thursday pm and off and on Friday and Saturday. More cloudy today with heavy spell of rain which coincided with the sheep getting out. Dryer later and quite humid too.
