    Just when I was ready to give up on the Great British Winter, along came the proper winters of 2008-09, 09-10, 10-11 & 12-13 to restore the faith somewhat...

  1. 10.5°C and 85.5mm for me please. Crud start, improving gradually.
  2. This is concerning. Current disruptive stuff is looking sustained for days. Definitely preferred the cauld spell - any sign yet of a return to cauld in Feburary @Kirkcaldy Weather?
  3. Many congrats @Northern Strath. Hope you manage some shuteye again soon. Wind is now howling outside. Already taken out one sidegate and not near the peak forecast yet. Power remains on for now. Stay safe, kilters.
  4. An ice day yesterday as the snaw finally arrived here at lunchtime. Overnight low of -8.3°C and about an inch on the level. Bright and brisk this morning: currently -4.1°C/-6°C.
  5. Happy New Year, fellow kilters, from Bonnie Comrie! A White Ne'er Day and lovely and bright, too. Gentle thaw of the snawcover continuing. Currently 2.4°C/3°C and not a puff of wind - a pleasant change after the recent storms. Wishing you all a cracking 2024 with plenty of snaw for a'body! Snaps of the garden, the flambeaux and Ne'er Day 'breakfast' attached.
  6. Well, a wee surprise here today as the snawcover held on despite a gentle thaw thus ensuring a White Hogmanay and likely a White Ne'er Day, too. A wee snawy snap featuring PG junior trudging through the gloamin this arvo with the auld man - the last light of the auld year. Looking like quiet weather for the flambeaux here later on this evening and the snaw will make it all the mair seasonal. Thanks to all the kilters, auld and new, who make this wee spot on the magical t'internet a wee weather haven and may all our snawy dreams be 'stella' and 'nailded on' in 2024! Wherever you are, hae a Guid New Year when it comes and awra the best for 2024.
  7. Update: 5cm on the level and has now turned to freezing rain. Wind picking up a touch as well. Currently 0.2°C/0°C.
  8. Big snaw began around an hour ago and we already have an inch. Falling on well frozen ground so it has stuck readily. Currently -0.3°C/-3°C so this could get tasty!
  9. A belated Merry Christmas, fellow kilters. Hope you all had a good one and the festivities are ongoing. A lively spell of festive weather here these past few days. Christmas Eve: stormy. Polytunnel upended. Again. Christmas Day: slight frost first thing then stayed cold, grey and misty with rain developing in the afternoon. Boxing Day: cold, frosty all day, lovely and bright - perfect for the Boxing Day walk and getting out and about. A very calm and still day. Today (so far): Bowfin. Horizontal wet snaw overnight - enough to give a covering, then horizintal sleet and finally horizontal rain. Lovely. Still raining, temp up to 4.9°C and the wind has eased (for now). 36.4mm of precipitation since 9pm last night. Looks like there could be more pop-up snaw events during the rest of the Daft Days and through Hogmanay and Ne'er Day. And as for the rest of January, it is 'not without interest'... Hae a guid yin, a'body.
