Highland Snow

Reached Perth now Snowplough.

Lookee here Snowplough and you'll see! http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Good morning all. -11.2C last night. I will take yesterday's precipitation now, thank you.

Sadly since last Saturday night's dumping Perth has had little snow. What there is left is an icy mess.

Good morning all. Perth at +1.7C DP +1.0C with rain/sleet.

Thanks for that by-Tor, saved me a bit of typing and raised blood pressure!

See they have added warnings for Highland and Grampian but not Tayside and Fife.

Happy New Year one and all. Just back from doing Pharmacy Rota in Dundee and no sign of any new snow on my 60 mile return trip. Currently +3.1C here but no dripping going on. Is snow due down across Scotland from the North tonight? Getting conflicting stories on the media.

Currently -9.6C here and rate of fall -1.1C/hour.

Blue Moons are rare (once every 2.5 years). Blue Moons on New Year's Eve are rarer still (once every 19 years). How rare is a lunar eclipse of a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve? A search of NASA's Five Millennium Catalogue of Lunar Eclipses provides an approximate answer. In the next 1000 years, Blue Moons on New Year's Eve will be eclipsed only 11 times (once every 91 years). A year of special note is 2848 when there will be two lunar eclipses in December--on Dec. 1st and Dec. 31st. Such a double-Blue Moon-lunar eclipse ending on New Year's Eve appears to be a millennium-level event. That's rare.

Morning all. Perth -4.5C and dry with no overnight snow. Cairngorm National Park getting a pasting just now.

Perth +2.1C this morning with rain showers. Drip, drip, drip outside.

Ross B, do you think I may need Professional help?

Yes Snowplough and they are coming in at the right angle for Perth.

Appears to have gone Tayport - Glenfarg - Dunblane and missed Perth on its Northern edge so showers travelling NE - SW not directly East.

Nothing out of that shower for Perth.

Hi Izi, Perth has 12 inches, 9 of which fell overnight Saturday. Max Temp -9.1C today -15.4C last night.

Glenfarg getting a pasting, Perth waiting patiently!

Snowing well at Sandford south of Tayport. http://www.trafficsc...ts=091229181025 Pity TrafficScotland blocks these links.

And Perth - Crieff hopefully the way it is growing.:o A view of the frozen River Tay from the North Inch at Perth, during the winter of 1895. Local photographer Magnus Jackson took a series of photographs of snowy scenes in and around the town. The Perthshire Constitutional newspaper of 12 February 1895 commented 'The keen frost still prevails and for more than a week the Tay has been completely frost-bound. On Saturday afternoon there must have been between 5,000 and 6,000 people on the river. Cyclists had little difficulty in going freely over the ice.' The photograph also shows Perth Bridge, which was over 100 years old by then. Built by the engineer Smeaton, it was opened in 1772 after a period of 150 years without a bridge. The tolls that had to be paid by people crossing the bridge were removed about the time this photograph was taken. Pedestrians were charged a farthing (a quarter of an old penny) at the time. http://www.scran.ac.uk/database/record.php?usi=000-000-488-491-C

Fascinating facts guys.

Fantastic pictures! Wondering today if the Tay will be taking on the same appearance by the weekend.

Maximum Temp. here today -9.1C currently -9.6C.

Huntingtowerfield Minimum last night -15.4C, that's a 10 year record definitely.

The snow is driving me mad! Is that a penguin at Loch Ness.:lol: http://www.lochness.co.uk/livecam/nonjava.html
