Fantastic photos, but that drifting is nothing compared to three years ago. For example, this was taken at the top of the road over Sui Hill when they finally dug it out with a JCB after a couple of weeks of being closed. Difficult to get an idea of scale from the photos, but it was higher than the roof of the Mitsubishi ASX I had then. Photo was taken on 15th Feb 2021.

If the lying snow we currently have doesn't consolidate before Sunday then there's going to be many more problems with drifting.

Ah canny offer any snaw pics for this cauld snap as ah huvnaegoatoany measurable snaw , jist a wee sprinkling!

Och ah’ll pop these in fae the Beast in 2018 .

First pic is mah pall Big Swaliam nearing the crossroads junction for Saline /Knockhill / Kelty, driving back fae Dunfermline after they had eventually got the road opened.

Just ventured out, only to end of the drive mind. Temperature has now dropped back down to -11°C. Looks like the Met Office station at the distillery recorded -14°C overnight. Makes sense as my station is closer to the River Truim and a bit lower down making for a colder reading.

Living the dream NYW!

Driving to work this morning and while approaching Linlithgow from the Falkirk end, I had to stop to clear my windscreen due to salt and low Sun Glare, the car thermometer was reading -16 Deg C

At about 10 am I nipped out to the car to fill the Screen Wash bottle and turned the ignition on and it was still reading -14 Dec at that time!

So it has been and still is nice and fekin cauld oot!

As I had mentioned in a previous post, it is difficult to determine exactly how much Snaw we got here due to the winds which accompanied the heavy showers and caused much drifting. I can see some neighbours gardens which have had more shelter from the swirling winds and the auld patio table top standard would look to be a good 12" plus! A decent event me thinks and very picturesque indeed

Would it be right tae say that the the warm up early next week, may be short lived and the Easterlies will be back very soon?

It's so windy here that I can only guess that we may have had aboot 4-6" of what would have been level Snaw?

Drifts whipped up from swirling winds and some surfaces blown totaly clear!

Looking at the latest BBC forecasts on the news, it would appear that the bulk of the shower bands are heading for the Tay and Angus areas today?

The caulder temps overnight appear to have done a good job of drying up a fair bit of the hellish wetness from a couple o' days o' pure pish

Been some grauple showers which have started to cover all surfaces nice and white

Just waiting oan the real deal noo!

Yep. What Big Innes said. (Finally)

Please Miss, he also said the same bad word as I did the other day (and got away with it) The swear filter accused me of ' swearing again' I guess it must be in a better mood today!!

Surprisingly though, all the stats here are exactly the same as yesterday 1.8c/1.4c/ENE. Even the web cam pic is exactly the same! Obviously a change on now though, "I can feel it in my WATER!" which is all gone now by the way!

Aye Blitzy!

A few wee Scottish withur types

A poor day with occasional spits & spots of rain = pish

A bad day with lots of rain = pishy

A hellish day with constant rain = pure pish

A day of Blizzard conditions = ya fekin belter!!!

And a perfect summer's day wi Blue Skies and Temperatures in the mid 20' = fekin Taps aff

For about the past hour here all of the heaviest precipitation is definitely Snaw, then as it eases off again it is mostly spits and spots o' pish

A decent covering here of aboot 2" although it has been Snawing here most of the day and still is falling and blowing around in the wind! The covering however is definitely different on various types of surfaces

Driving to work this morning and on return this evening and while going through the nearby village of Saline, the top of the village and main street was White with Snaw, while about a 1/4 of a mile down the main street at the bottom of the village it was wet with no Snaw to be seen

Weird. It was raining here when I peered out the window at 5am and it certainly doesn't look any different out there now. Well...other than a lot wetter than it was last night. 1.7C.

Aye Ben!

Mrs had been up at 5am and she said that it had been Snawing quite heavy at that time!

January 26, 2021

A nice unexpected covering here this morning, about 1-1/2" new stuff on top of the existing covering from last Thursday!

Nice, nice nice!!!

Jist nice

A right guid winter this has turned into

Big Innes

Big Innes

January 20, 2021

Aye, Ok then!

It turned tae Snaw here at aboot 9.30pm ish and there now looks to be a couple O' cms covering on all surfaces and still falling

Big Innes

January 20, 2021

Well just like last night, it's still raining here!

Dunno whit the fek is going on here this winter, but even Lithgy which normally gets precious little Snaw, is constantly getting Mair Snaw than here???

Most winters, snaw is a given here and taken for granted and can still be found long after it has melted away elsewhere in these parts!

Mibbies some of our very learned in here can enlighten me as to whit the fek is goan oan???
