    Snowing over the local hills, photo looking onto Cairn William, 450 mts asl, North facing side.Snowline seems to be around the 300 meter mark. Temperature currently 1.5c on the car display. Roads are very wet, could be tricky tomorrow.

    Second photo shows current conditions over at the Lecht.

    Home early today to get a replacement windscreen and the winter alloys/tyres fitted. Heavy snow forecast around 3pm, the Autoglass fitter won't be best pleased.

    Would you rather :

    A) Have a week of deep snow and freezing fog, with only 2 days of sunshine. Temepratures hovering between -2c and 0c
    B) No snow, but a week of temperatures reaching 4-7c by day, and below -5c by night, with 5 days of wall-to-wall susnhine, and two days of freezing fog allowing ice days

    I'd go for B. I've seen enough snow to last a lifetime.

    A dry, cloudy, and cold start to the day, car display currently showing -1.5c.

    The latest Met Office daily forecast is worth checking out for next week. A 12 hour period of snow Thursday evening into Friday morning around these parts.

    On the way to the shops, I noticed a council gritter fueling at the local Shell station. As I drew alongside, the gritter had It's snow blade fitted. Perhaps a good omen.....

    Thursday 30 Nov - Saturday 9 Dec

    Outbreaks of rain and some hill snow are likely to spread across parts of England and Wales during Thursday. This could be heavy and prolonged in places, before it begins to fade and clear away again to the south during Friday. Further north, a mixture of sunny spells and wintry showers on Thursday and Friday, the showers most frequent near coasts. Over the weekend and into the following week, cold conditions and northerly winds are expected across the bulk of the UK. Showers will develop, these a mixture of rain, sleet and, at times, snow, with the most frequent showers across coastal districts in the north and east. Some inland areas, especially in the south, could be mainly dry and bright.

    Suspect this won't be far off the mark.

    I got seduced by the name of a tyre... Viking Contact 7! These are about to go on the Yeti. I hope they live up to the hype and that conditions justify the outlay and effort!

    Wintrac 4 extreme, shipped from Germany, £200 cheaper than the best price I could find in the UK. How does that work 🤔 

    Anyway, hopefully get a chance to try them out soon.

    Very windy and mild start to the day at 11.5c. My weekend job of clearing the leaves from the roof valleys and gutters has been completed thanks to last night's winds.

    Light snow in the forecast for later on today and tomorrow morning. Not quite 1947/1963 being kicked around on the another thread.
