Well I got out for my play in the snow, with the pretence of walking the dog, took a trip up Mither Tap on Bennachie (not right to the top as the last bit is awkward enough for the dog when there's no snow). Amazing what a difference there is in the snow there, even at car park level. It's only a couple of miles further west and 100m higher but the snow is lovely squeaky stuff that makes perfect snowballs, compared to the wet claggy stuff in the village. Not as much snow up higer as there was at the start of Dec though, but it's almost powdery and much easier to walk in than the heavy deep stuff last time.

Need a bit of a freeze now to preserve the snow we have, in preparation for Monday.

Enjoying the big freeze of 1963 on bbc 2. I hope everyone sees some more snow overnight and during the coming days. Still very frustrating for my location but at least I'm enjoying the seasonal conditions and occasional snow flurries. It seems like there could be another easterly after Monday's event but after that it's still uncertain about how long the cold spell will last for but I'm still hoping for heights over Greenland around February.

Love the old style commentary on this programme, just listened in whilst looking through the chart archive from around mid December 62 through until February. Some absolutely outrageous charts within, worth a scan through for lovers of cold.

light snow sems to be coming from North East this time. We lost nearly all the snow today. Was up at Beecraigs nearly 1000ft up and not much more than 2cm.

I'm watching it, can't believe that happened in the UK.

Some of those charts have a familiar look to them as well!

1962 saw a Canadian Warming in the Stratosphere in November followed by a midwinter warming in February, ENSO was neutral and QBO was Easterly, solar activity was at a minimum.

Another wee flurry here, seems to be the continuing theme for this evening.

Eerily familiar, same as last night - nothing all day and now the very fine "dust motes" have been gently whirling around for 10-15 minutes continuously... if you've ever beaten an old feather quilt over the line outside on a sunny day then you know exactly what I mean. I do realise that might be one of you if i'm very lucky and more likely to be none of you but it is the only thing I can think of to describe it!

Horizontal snow with small fine flakes and settling

edit: it's small snowpellets, but at least the bare ground is turning white again

North East England is getting the full treatment. Endless showers rolling in. Probably SE Scotland aswell. SS will be buried soon.

Damn, knew I shouldn't have headed back to Fife tonightrofl.gif Mind you, hefty looking shower just to the east heading in, could be interesting, and the NMM/NAE place the greatest snow risk overnight for Fife and Dundee.

It looks like parts of the lothians are seeing some snow from quite a hefty shower. A straw to clutch but at least the NAE rain/snow chart shows something of interest for midnight.

And with a bit of luck we'll see charts for Monday looking like this by Sunday night.
