Snowy low went too far south …… now where have I heard that before ? ach well

Afternoon All, I’m looking forward to the next week. It’s not going to be normal service from the weather. Totally understand the disappointment from MOD thread as won’t be as severe, prolonged or nationwide as it was forecast to be. But for me that is not going to detract from what is about to happen in the here and nearly now. It’s going to be decently cold , impressively so in some parts , the windchill will be pretty severe …. and decent odds that disturbances in the flow will still appear in Mr Ben styley. Bring it on. Enjoy and good luck with the snow

The dog says it for me

Obligatory dog walk in the unexpected snow

Aurora from Sunday night here (not my photo)

Absolutely zero weather here to report on. Does make for a good photo though. Wishing you all a lovely Christmas

Atmospheric

Temperature dropping like a (very cold) stone now. Stunningly clear though

Surprise Snow here too

With MOD thread moving so fast just now I thought it might help to provide a “MOD guide to UK geography” : hopefully allowing some of us to translate MOD comments to our location :

That’s interesting as MetOffice just called me : unfortunately they hung up straight away …… it was a cold call Yes I am getting excited : I understand the apparent restraint in here just now ; but I am moving into full on ramp mode now

Morning All Another reasonably warm day ahead here : could do with some rain but we have months of that ahead so can wait dramatic clouds on dog walk yesterday PS @shuggee I grew up in Peebles , I once found a Second World War shell just under the bridge arch in your photo above

Shorts on ; check Tshirt on : check weather playing ball ; no check i hate pirate weather (haaaaaaaar) , but looks like it’s starting to burn off

Not sure the snowman will see out the day. Thawing at pace here , sounds like it’s pouring with rain but is the snow melt hitting off conservatory etc Its been a cracking week though

The bonus snow just now was better than expected Even justified another dog walk
