A reasonable day with some early sunshine and feeling mild enough for no hat/gloves when cycling. 11.6c the max.

Looks like a period of anticyclonic gloom for the next few days inc xmas. Pretty miserable really as light levels will be low and they'll be little 'weather' to speak of - just featureless grey skies & similar temps day & night.

At least temps are in the 6-9c range rather than the 2-5c range meaning less heating/wrapping up will be needed. There's no point in colder temps that stay above freezing (so no frost/anything interesting) as it just makes dull weather that bit more annoying.

A spell of drizzle and light rain during the early part of last night gave 1.4mm of rain, the rain clearing by late evening to leave a dry and cloudy second half of the night.

Today has been dry and mild with sunny intervals until about 1400 when thicker cloud arrived from the west.

A few days ago a member attempted to pour scorn on predictions made in recent years (Stratos Ferric comes to mind) to the effect that the Scottish ski-ing industry was economically marginal owing to its poor to variable snow cover (last season's improved cover notwithstanding).

Here is today's update by the Ski Club of Great Britain, in the fourth week of an excitingly cold December: "The snow cover at Cairngorm (15cm) is hard packed and it is icy in places.

Due to the lack of complete cover and the condition of the snow it is currently not advisable for beginners to ski there.

A storm over the weekend has also damaged some of the lifts, so the resort is assessing these. You can ski to the middle on Traverse, Cas and the Gunbarrel but it is not possible to ski to the base station.

The recent thaw has affected the snow cover at the Nevis Range. The Gondola is open on Monday but skiing is currently only available on the artificial slope.

Glencoe and Glenshee are closed due to insufficient snow cover.

The Lecht has suffered a power failure so all of the facilities are closed. They also have very little snow cover."
