Yesterday, 11 February 2009

Clear periods overnight lead to a frosty start. The air temperature fell to –2.1c and –5.6c on the grass. At observation, a sheet of stratocumulus cloud has recently moved in from the west, still frosty. The cloud continued to increase and thicken, giving intermittent light rain by early afternoon. The temperature briefly reached 5.4c, but fell quickly in the rain to 2c by 3pm. The rain changed over to sleet by the end of the afternoon, though amounts were small. Maximum wind gust, 14mph from the west.

Blowing snow on a strong S wind, have had 4 inches fresh since 7.00am on top of the 8 inches we already had,currently -1c. Speaking to my electrician this morning he tells me Moray Council are using JCBs and Lorries to cart snow off the streets at Dufftown as they have over 40 inches lying and more falling today, an older farmer in the Dufftown area told him he was just a boy when he last saw snow so deep. Also a local contract shepherd phoned me this morning to order small bales of hay for the first helicopter drop to sheep I have heard of in the hills to the south of me where 4 feet of snow is preventing him from feeding them. This wether is starting to have an impact.
