Well I don"t think I will have to into the wood next week to photograph snow on the ground in March as it is currently 0c and still lightly snowing although the snow on the ground is pretty wet. It really has been a memorable winter with continuous lying snow somewhere at this level during 4 months probably.

The hard part comes now on the farm trying to juggle the remaining feed and getting the spring crops sown when spring arrives. Some of the indications suggest April at the earliest as the ground will have to dry out a lot . In the meantime the upcoming frostyish spell will be very welcome to start the drying process.

Well, down to 2.5 C from 3.1 in an hour. That is dropping fast and later today should be interesting.

Pity the ground will be so wet if snow starts to fall. Meto heavy snow warning for today and tomorrow for me. Hmmm

Ah well, time for the salt mines now.

Just goes to show how marginal this is in Inverness, just 25 metres altitude is the difference between very, very little snow at sea level and 3 inches!

No changes here from yesterday, still snowing!

I demand some nice photos of beautiful An t-Srùigh under the sneachd from yourself soon mate :)

BBC forecast has us back under the sun by Sunday. Braw! I'm missing all the lovely sunshine we had before the stalling front came and spoiled it with rain. Might have been a different story if it was all of snow! At least a whole lot of the country has done well from this fall, I guess I had my fair share on Dec 23rd. Hey, might even get to see some falling later on today :)

Morning. Temps have dropped from 2.6c to 1.6c in an hour here. The showers are turning to sleet. Wind is stronger too. Looks as if we are going to pick up more today but I think it will be very wet snow.

Not sure if we'll get snow at lower levels - maybe much later as temps to drop to around 0- fingers crossed.

Quite interesting to note that glencoe on wednesday I think it was had the record amount of snow for any ski resort in the entire world for 24 hours at 80CM! How many times can you say a Scottish ski resort beat every other ski resort in the world for snow in 1 day. :)

Vodafone data services on the Meall a' Bhuachaille mast opposite CairnGorm have gone down - CairnGorm Webcams offline and probably will not come back online till the system reboots in the early hours of Saturday morning even if data services come back on during today. One things for sure, no-one is getting near that hut. East Lady has to be an avalanche concern too (hopefully that's not why the cams went off... :) )...

Clearing to the north now with isolated snow showers. Scraped the 3 inches of slush that fell again overnight off the farm road this morning in case it refreezes overnight. Another thing that is remarkable about this winter is the constant return of colder air this time from the north the opposite of what happened in the last two days. Currently 1c and wind easing.

well the radar showing snow over me but it just rainrofl.gif

It's been fair now for most of the morning in these parts, so it looks like the precipitation is now over for this epic event good.gif

Hopefully things will get a chance to dry out a bit and all the surface water on the roads will go before any frosts arrive over the weekend cold.gif

Should be a big money spinner for the Ski industry up North now whistling.gif

Temperature at Glasgow Airport is a balmy 4C, but importantly the dew point is 0C which indicates the cold air is coming back south :blink: :D

All I need now is a frost.....
