I’ll need to try it out. Another good run for the younger kids is down on the lower slopes at the Herriot Watt campus in the secret garden. We had a good afternoon there on New Year’s Day. Radar still looking good. -

Yes it has been really decent without any huge falls, just lots of frequent top-ups with the cold never leaving. Reminds me a bit of winters growing up in the late 70’s to mid 80’s when the snow or ice never seemed to really depart before it turned much colder again with further snowfalls. Oh for an old fashioned winter again.... -

Yeah the snow seems to have intensified after crossing the Forth. That 18z model run was crazy with widespread 50-60cm snow depths across Scotland. We’re going to need a bigger piste basher for the resort! -

I can confirm that it’s lovely and snowy at the western side of resort 101 too. -

I’m going to have to check my height above sea level again, I’m sure I’ve done myself out of a few metres. I visited the higher slopes of the 101 resort yesterday and Threipmuir reservoir looked about ready for a curling match. -

Happy new year everyone. Nice to wake up to snow falling. Perfect top up for the sledging runs which had turned hard and icy. -

I love reading the model thread but when a cold spell begins this is definitely the place to be. Great posts and pics regarding local conditions and I really appreciate the 24-48 hour detailed outlooks from @LomondSnowstorm @Kirkcaldy Weather@Mr Frost keep up the good work guys. -

Yeah, just need to see this sleety rain to clear without doing too much damage to the snow cover and a freeze tonight, hopefully. My kids have been sledging every day since Tuesday and it would be a shame if that came to an end. They are even out just now in the damp conditions which is pretty hard core and wouldn’t be me. -

Yeah, would rather miss it if it’s going to turn to rain anyway and might keep the current snow cover relatively intact. -

I used to sledge at Barberton when I was a kid. Nowadays we go to the hill between Currievale and Currie castle drive as it’s a two minute walk. -

Lovely looking winter morning out there. Looking good for the kid’s getting the sledges out and maybe me. -

Lovely snow fall with a bit more to come according to the radar. The kids might be able to get their sledges out tomorrow if it continues like this for a bit longer. -

Yes, decent wee snow shower has made it look very festive in the space of about 5 mins.
