Scotland/Alba weather discussion - Jan 2021 onwards
Snowandrocks replied to LomondSnowstorm's topic in Regional
Haha, not quite - probably only about 4 or 5 inches lying despite snowing continually for probably 24h. (and thanks, almost worth the endless days I spent putting up and painting all that tongue and groove!) -

Parts of Strathdon, Corgarff and the Cabrach were already well above that before the current snow set in. Will be some incredible depths by next week! Still snowing here on the North side of Bennachie (at least according to the Velux snow gauge). -

Only a dusting of fresh overnight but heavy snow showers blowing through now, lying readily. -

Yep, looking interesting. Also worth remembering that some higher parts of Aberdeenshire already have 1m+ of lying snow! -

Higher inland parts of Aberdeenshire are already buried so could be some serious depths if any of that comes off. -

I set off from the top of the brindy hill road south of Premnay and headed west. If I'd carried on I would have eventually come out at the top of the Suie hill but it was pretty tough going! Not exactly sure where I was when I took the video but from looking at the OS somewhere between 370 and 400m at a guess. -

Hopefully this'll work but gives an idea of the depth of fresh. Streamable Video STREAMABLE.COM Watch this video on Streamable. -

Still snowing steadily, few inches at most though. Just been out with the dog though and I didn't have to go far before things got deeper. Easily another 18 inches of fresh on top of the old, thankfully compacted, snow. Not sure how to post a video but pretty difficult to get anywhere without skis. -

A reasonable covering of snow here too and still snowing - bit wet but more than I expected. -

Sleet and snow hasn't really stopped since mid afternoon but only started lying properly a couple of hours ago - reasonable covering building now. -

Occasional moderate snow showers coming through here too this morning - none have lasted more than about 5 minutes but enough to leave a covering. The ground is still frozen solid which obviously helps. -

Lovely photos everyone. Beautiful day in Aberdeenshire too with perfect XC skiing conditions in the forest. Difficult to judge depth but could easily be over a metre of level snow lying in places. -

Fast asleep next to the stove now! -

She loves the snow and spent most of the walk leaping through drifts like a loon but it was pretty grim at the point we gave up! Suie hill should be good I imagine. -

Just been out with the dog up Bennachie, gave up reaching the Mither Tap as I kept falling through the windslab into chest deep powder and the dog was starting to ice over in the spindrift! Made it to the top of Craigshannoch though. -

You must be just below the snowline - just been up to the Clashindarroch Forest for a ski. Didn't last long, absolutely howling! Blowing over the road with almost no visibility once above ~350m. -

A friend at 300m asl near Tarland says the snow is piling up pretty quickly and blowing around in the gale. -

Quite surprised to see reports of snow from near Aberdeen. Just sleety rain here at 150m on the North side of Bennachie. Wind getting up now but nothing crazy. -

Snowing steadily on the North side of Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. Probably about an inch or so lying.
