Woke up this moring to about 5cm of snow, there has been a few showers all morning ranging from very light to quite heavy, but it seems by the time the showers get over thee mountains to here on the east they have lost a lot of their power.
No winds yet though !

First of the real snow showers has just arrivd with us now, the rain has increasingly been turning to sleet and now snow all day, and now it is starting to settle on the ground.

Blizzards overnight, but surprisingly didn't leave a lot of lying snow, only about 2cm.
Still getting a few snow showers from time to time now, but they are a lot lighter.

Very stormy night, and the winds are still quite strong today. There was a lot of heavy snow showers overnight too, so I was quite surprised to see very little lying this morning, maybe it was more lying snow being blown about. We are still getting the snow showers too, but they are quite light now.

Alness, Highland - Part 2
Almost into tomorrow, but the snow arrived here this evening, I was up at my parents and the drive home wasn't the best.
No persistant snow, but very blustery snow showers, the ground is pretty we so nothing really lying on the roads or pavements, but the grass and trees have quite a bit of snow on the windward sides.
Looks as though it could be a stormy night ahead for us.

A bit late, but with the rain battering of the window I couldn't be bothered in getting up.

Loads of Snow this morning, about 4 inches on the ground when we got up at 7.30am.. although there was nothing at 5am when the wee fella first wanted up !!
Light snow flurries on and off all day, got a bit heavier after dark, but seem to be turning more to rain and sleet now.
Great white Christmas though

It was a brilliant sunny day here, although very very cold, and the snow that fell on Friday is still here.
Top temperature is just now as it has been rising slowly since 7pm, Currently at 0.9'C, During the day it was around -1'C
Overnight the lowest was -9.2'C
As I said clear skies all day, little patches of high cloud for an hour or so before dusk, I think it is clouding over a bit now though.
I took a walk up to the top of Fyrish monument today 453 meters up, the temperature there at 1pm was -6'C, with a stiff breeze, Even with a thick jacket and layers apon layers of clothes I was frozen.

Just had a look at the webcam for Loch Glascarnoch which is only about 20 miles from me,, good to see there is quite a bit of snow.
Only showers here, but it's not lying

I'm at work so don't have any temperatures or official figures.
But we now have blusterly snow showers which have just started.
There was heavy rain overnight, snow on the moutains, but it froze this morning giving very bad roads.
Not sure if the snow will settle as it is quite wet after all the rain of recent days.
But the sky is so dark we still have the street lights on and it's almost 9.30am..

9C and rain here, quite windy at times from the W.
Pete, somone from Inverness is claiming they are in a blizzard on Slow Watch, with a couple of CM lying already? True/False ?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm about 15 miles North of Inverness, we have had heavy rain this evening with the strong winds, but no snow. However I am just slightly above sea level, there was snow on the hills this afternoon, so I suppose if they lived in some of the higher areas of Inverness I suppose there is a chance there was some snow.
I tried checking the Inverness webcam but it has been off line for ages now.

I know it is a couple of days late, but there was a little snow on the A9 between Inverness and Perth on Saturday morning, the road was clear, but the grass verges were white for about 30 miles or so, but then we were 1500 feet or so ASL. There was a good dusting on the moutains too, and it lasted all day as it was still there on the way home too.
and we got beat

snow is becoming more constant here now, we must now have a few extra cm's of snow on top of what fell over night, also listening to the radio schools are starting to close around the region, which is always an indication things are getting quite bad on the roads too.
