Highland Snow

I was at University in Belfast in '84 and it was an amazing Winter - no deep cold but lots of snow so yes THAT Polar Maritime setup would do fine. Very deep high latitude depressions characterised January of '84 with storms and heavy rain and then as the depressions moved east the snow showers or longer periods of snow set in behind the cold front as Arctic air was sucked southward to us. Remember sitting glued to the TV and Radio 4 for weather updates and being really envious of my Kilted cousins who were getting more severe conditions than us in Ulster!

Raining here at +1.1C. A dreich day.

Minimum last night -3.8C at 01.30. Currently -1.1C with low cloud.

Takes a BIG MAN to say sorry BUS. You are an asset to the Kilted Thread so keep up the good work.

Maximum temperature today a tropical +1.3C! Cloud has spilled in so tonight may be a tad milder.

Yes Coast it would be a suitable reminder of the Star of Bethlehem on the Messiah's official birthday!

Tanked out at -5.8C the coldest yet.

BUS you are now the most trusted information source in The Kilted Thread in parallel with Lomond Snowstorm. How did you hone your Model interpretation skills?

Nippy day in the Fair City. Minimum last night -2.9C, Maximum today +2.8C at 14.59, currently -0.4C/-1.2C (-1.5C/Hr) with a crystal clear starry sky so will get the Meade telescope out after Jupiter rises at 19.00.

Maximum today +4.6C so not an Ice Day OTR. Currently -0.5C/-1.6C.

Minimum last night -5.8C.

Maximum today +5.1C at 14.02. Currently 0.0C/-2.4C - gonna be a fuar night a'right.

Max. Temp. today +6.3C at 11.33. Currently +4.5C/-0.1C.

Well fellow kilters I had a trip up the A9 today as far as Kingussie (70 miles North of Perth) and here is my report: Freezing level this morning (07.30 - 09.00) at about 1500 feet: this evening (17.30 - 19.00) at about 1200 feet. Snow lying North of House of Bruar at road level but not on road. Snow on road North of Trinafour as far as Dalwhinnie then nothing again. Hills around Dalnaspidal/Drumochter have appearance of caster sugar so just a skiff really. Blizzard blowing tonight travelling home especially at Drumochter/Dalwhinnie. Nice to see and drive through my first snow this Winter but nothing spectacular.

Edo are you weather station equipped for those all important Luncarty dew points?

Is this the picture?

If only the 850's were lower the chance of snow sticking below 300m would be greatly enhanced.

That's the snow tyres on again so now it will probably turn mild until March. Anyone else fitted the old winter tyres and if so what? I got two fronts fitted for £170. They are Yokohama W Drive 205/55/16 V91 M+S (made in Japan).

Shocking Cheggers, I am civilised and use my elbow.

Snow has arrived in Lapland. Welcome Winter 2013 http://alk.tiehallinto.fi/alk/kelikamerat/kamera-C1452100.html

Astrogeophysicist Dr John Eddy, who was at the time Solar Astronomer at the High Altitude Observatory at Boulder, Colorado, made some revealing comments at a symposium in 1978, as reported in Geotimes, Vol. 23, September 1978, p. 18. ‘There is no evidence based solely on solar observations’, Eddy stated, ‘that the Sun is 4.5–5 x 109 years old. I suspect’, he said, ‘that the Sun is 4.5-billion years old. However, given some new and unexpected results to the contrary, and some time for frantic recalculation and theoretical readjustment, I suspect that we could live with Bishop Ussher’s value for the age of the Earth and Sun. I don’t think we have much in the way of observational evidence in astronomy to conflict with that.’

Archbishop James Ussher was a man of brilliance. Don't knock him until you have thoroughly researched him: http://creation.com/appendix-b-the-forgotten-archbishop

Clearing nicely now Allyw. Temperature at 11.00 is 24.3C ie. too warm for my liking.
